According to its self-reported version, the version of memcached installed on the remote host is a version prior to 1.4.17. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • An error exists related to handling SASL requests that could allow authentication bypasses.
    (CVE-2013-7239)

  • An error exists in the function ‘do_item_get’ in the file ‘items.c’ that could cause buffer overreads and allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2013-7290)

  • An error related to logging and verbose mode could allow some requests to cause denial of service conditions. (CVE-2013-7291)
