Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-04-10 05:21:16 EDT
A deficiency was found:
  [1] http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=102

in the way memcached processed received TCP data. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to cause denial of service (excessive
use of memory, server hang or crash).

Comment 1 Jan Lieskovsky 2010-04-10 05:22:10 EDT
This issue affects the versions of memcached package,
as shipped with Fedora release of 11.

Please fix.
Comment 2 Paul Lindner 2010-04-11 20:50:31 EDT
I'm a bit busy at the moment, I won't be able to spin off a 1.4.5 release for F-11 for a little while.  That said this is a very minor issue as security issues go...
Comment 3 Paul Lindner 2012-02-07 01:05:19 EST
closed, 1.4.10 is latest release.
