The version of memcached installed on the remote host is prior to 1.5.17-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2MEMCACHED1.5-2023-001 advisory.

  • Buffer Overflow vulnerability in authfile.c memcached 1.6.9 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted authenticattion file. (CVE-2021-37519)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
