    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1853-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde August 7th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : memcached
    Vulnerability : heap-based buffer overflow
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-2415

    Ronald Volgers discovered that memcached, a high-performance memory object caching system, is vulnerable to several heap-based buffer overflows due
    to integer conversions when parsing certain length attributes. An
    attacker can use this to execute arbitrary code on the system running
    memcached (on etch with root privileges).


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.1.12-1+etch1.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.2-1+lenny1.

    For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution , this problem
    will be fixed soon.


    We recommend that you upgrade your memcached packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
