Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.702832
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2832-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'memcached' package(s) announced via the DSA-2832-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'memcached' package(s) announced via the DSA-2832-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in memcached, a high-performance memory object caching system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues:

CVE-2011-4971

Stefan Bucur reported that memcached could be caused to crash by sending a specially crafted packet.

CVE-2013-7239

It was reported that SASL authentication could be bypassed due to a flaw related to the management of the SASL authentication state. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker may be able to authenticate with invalid SASL credentials.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.5-1+deb6u1. Note that the patch for CVE-2013-7239 was not applied for the oldstable distribution as SASL support is not enabled in this version. This update also provides the fix for CVE-2013-0179 which was fixed for stable already.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.13-0.2+deb7u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your memcached packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'memcached' package(s) on Debian 6, Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
