Title: Memcached Multiple Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Memcached is a database-caching applications available for multiple operating systems.
Memcached is prone to multiple heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. These issues are caused by an integer-conversion error when parsing certain length attributes.
Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges and compromise the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
