Vulnerabilities

In memcached before 1.6.42, username data for SASL password database authentication has a timing side channel because a loop exits as soon as a valid username is found by sasl_server_userdb_checkpass.

In Memcached before 1.6.22, an off-by-one error exists when processing proxy requests in proxy mode, if \n is used instead of \r\n.

Memcached 1.6.0 before 1.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted meta command.

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in authfile.c memcached 1.6.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted authenticattion file.

There is a local denial of service vulnerability in Advanced SystemCare 13 PRO 13.5.0.174. Attackers can use a constructed program to cause a computer crash (BSOD)

Memcached 1.6.x before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted binary protocol header to try_read_command_binary in memcached.c.

memcached 1.5.16, when UNIX sockets are used, has a stack-based buffer over-read in conn_to_str in memcached.c.

The api/admin/logoupload Logo File upload feature in EMCA Energy Logserver 6.1.2 allows attackers to send any kind of file to any location on the server via path traversal in the filename parameter.

In memcached before 1.5.14, a NULL pointer dereference was found in the "lru mode" and "lru temp_ttl" commands. This causes a denial of service when parsing crafted lru command messages in process_lru_command in memcached.c.

`memjs` versions <= 1.1.0 allocates and stores buffers on typed input, resulting in DoS and uninitialized memory usage.

memcached version prior to 1.4.37 contains an Integer Overflow vulnerability in items.c:item_free() that can result in data corruption and deadlocks due to items existing in hash table being reused from free list. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity to the memcached service. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 1.4.37 and later.

Memcached version 1.5.5 contains an Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume (Network Amplification, CWE-406) vulnerability in the UDP support of the memcached server that can result in denial of service via network flood (traffic amplification of 1:50,000 has been reported by reliable sources). This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity to port 11211 UDP. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 1.5.6 due to the disabling of the UDP protocol by default.

The try_read_command function in memcached.c in memcached before 1.4.39 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a request to add/set a key, which makes a comparison between signed and unsigned int and triggers a heap-based buffer over-read. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-8705.

An integer overflow in the process_bin_append_prepend function in Memcached, which is responsible for processing multiple commands of Memcached binary protocol, can be abused to cause heap overflow and lead to remote code execution.
