The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-13 (memcached: Multiple vulnerabilities)
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.
Impact :
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.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
