Description Laura Pardo 2018-03-13 18:05:27 EDT
A flaw was found in memcached version prior to 1.4.37. It contains an Integer
Overflow vulnerability in items.c:item_free() that can result in resource leaks
or data corruption, deadlocks and crashes 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.

Comment 1 Laura Pardo 2018-03-13 18:06:26 EDT
Created memcached tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: openstack-rdo [bug 1555065]
Comment 4 Riccardo Schirone 2018-03-16 07:40:38 EDT
RHEL 6 is affected by this flaw, being subject to the integer overflow in items.c:item_free(), but items are not put back in the freelist if they are still used. However, it can cause memory leaks and, potentially, resource exhaustion.
Comment 7 errata-xmlrpc 2018-07-30 13:41:41 EDT
This issue has been addressed in the following products:
