Stefan Bucur discovered that Memcached incorrectly handled certain large body lengths. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Memcached to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2011-4971)

Jeremy Sowden discovered that Memcached incorrectly handled logging certain details when the -vv option was used. An attacker could use this issue to cause Memcached to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-0179)

It was discovered that Memcached incorrectly handled SASL authentication. A remote attacker could use this issue to bypass SASL authentication completely. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2013-7239).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
