    <p>memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching
      system
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>memcached authentication could be bypassed when using SASL due to a flaw
      related to SASL authentication state. Also several heap-based buffer
      overflows due to integer conversions when parsing certain length
      attributes were discovered.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could possibly execute
      arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of
      Service condition or authenticate with invalid SASL credentials,
      bypassing memcached authentication completely.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All memcached users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/memcached-1.4.17"
    </code>
