Oracle Solaris Third-Party Patch Update : memcached (multiple_vulnerabilities_in_memcached)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 80702

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Solaris system is missing a security patch for third-party software.

Description

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

 - The process_bin_delete function in memcached.c in memcached 1.4.4 and other versions before 1.4.17, when running in verbose mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a request to delete a key, which does not account for the lack of a null terminator in the key and triggers a buffer over-read when printing to stderr.
 (CVE-2013-0179)

 - memcached before 1.4.17 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by sending an invalid request with SASL credentials, then sending another request with incorrect SASL credentials. (CVE-2013-7239)

 - The do_item_get function in items.c in memcached 1.4.4 and other versions before 1.4.17, when running in verbose mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a request to delete a key, which does not account for the lack of a null terminator in the key and triggers a buffer over-read when printing to stderr, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-0179. (CVE-2013-7290)

 - memcached before 1.4.17, when running in verbose mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a request that triggers an 'unbounded key print' during logging, related to an issue that was 'quickly grepped out of the source tree,' a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-0179 and CVE-2013-7290.
 (CVE-2013-7291)

Solution

Upgrade to Solaris 11.1.17.5.0.
