It is recommended that administrators running memcached check for an updated version of the software for their operating system. - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1853-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde August 7th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : memcached Vulnerability : heap-based buffer overflow Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2009-2415 Ronald Volgers discovered that memcached, a high-performance memory object caching system, is vulnerable to several heap-based buffer overflows due to integer conversions when parsing certain length attributes. An attacker can use this to execute arbitrary code on the system running memcached (on etch with root privileges). For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.12-1+etch1. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.2-1+lenny1. For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution , this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your memcached packages. Upgrade instructions - - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
