Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1033-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'memcached' package(s) announced via the DLA-1033-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'memcached' package(s) announced via the DLA-1033-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that there was a remote denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in memcached, a high-performance memory object caching system. The try_read_command function allowed remote attackers to cause a DoS via a request to add/set a key that makes a comparison between a signed and unsigned integer which triggered a heap-based buffer over-read. This vulnerability existed due to an incomplete upstream fix for CVE-2016-8705. For Debian 7 Wheezy, this issue has been fixed in memcached version 1.4.13-0.2+deb7u3. We recommend that you upgrade your memcached packages. Affected Software/OS: 'memcached' package(s) on Debian 7. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
