critical Nessus Plugin ID 76064

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-13 (memcached: Multiple vulnerabilities)

memcached authentication could be bypassed when using SASL due to a flaw related to SASL authentication state. Also several heap-based buffer overflows due to integer conversions when parsing certain length attributes were discovered.
Impact :

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition or authenticate with invalid SASL credentials, bypassing memcached authentication completely.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All memcached users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-misc/memcached-1.4.17'
