http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1007866 Bug ID: 1007866 Summary: Memcached: 1.4.32 and earlier buffer overflow Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Security Assignee: security-team@suse.de Reporter: mikhail.kasimov@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Reference: [1] http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/290 [1]: =================================================== Release notes with tarball here: https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/ReleaseNotes1433 Copy/paste from the relase notes: Serious remote code execution bugs are fixed in this release. The bugs are related to the binary protocol as well as SASL authentication of the binary protocol. If you do not use the binary protocol at all, a workaround is to start memcached with -B ascii - otherwise you will need the patch in this release. The diff may apply cleanly to older versions as the affected code has not changed in a long time. Full details of the issues may be found here: http://blog.talosintel.com/2016/10/memcached-vulnerabilities.html In summary: two binary protocol parsing errors, and a SASL authentication parsing error allows buffer overflows of keys into arbitrary memory space. With enough work undesireable effects are possible. CVE's were requested and assigned by the reporter. I unfortunately don't have them handy :( -Dormando =================================================== [2] https://software.opensuse.org/package/memcached [2]: =================================================== TW: 1.4.25 42.1: 1.4.22 13.2: 1.4.20 network:utilities repo: 1.4.25 server:php:extensions repo: 1.4.25 filesystems:openATTIC repo: 1.4.25 =================================================== -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
