Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in memcached which could lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-misc/memcached | * | < 1.4.33 | >= 1.4.33 |
memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system
Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in memcached. Please review the CVE identifiers and Cisco TALOS reports referenced below for details.
A remote attacker could abuse memcached’s binary protocol leading to the remote execution of arbitrary code.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All memcached users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/memcached-1.4.33"
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in memcached, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| net-misc/memcached | * | < 1.4.17 | >= 1.4.17 |

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.
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.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All memcached users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/memcached-1.4.17"
