Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-701-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'memcached' package(s) announced via the DLA-701-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'memcached' package(s) announced via the DLA-701-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in memcached, a high-performance memory object caching system. A remote attacker could take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial of service (daemon crash), or potentially to execute arbitrary code. CVE-2013-7291 It was discovered that memcached, when running in verbose mode, can be crashed by sending carefully crafted requests that trigger an unbounded key print, resulting in a daemon crash. CVE-2016-8704 / CVE-2016-8705 / CVE-2016-8706 Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos found several vulnerabilities in memcached. A remote attacker could cause an integer overflow by sending carefully crafted requests to the memcached server, resulting in a daemon crash. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.13-0.2+deb7u2. We recommend that you upgrade your memcached packages.
