[ MDVSA-2009:105 ] memcached

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : memcached
Date : May 4, 2009
Affected: 2009.0, 2009.1, Corporate 4.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

The process_stat function in Memcached prior 1.2.8 discloses
memory-allocation statistics in response to a stats malloc command,
which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive
information by sending this command to the daemon's TCP port
(CVE-2009-1255, CVE-2009-1494).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
