    CVE-2017-9951

    Summary: Updated memcached packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: The try_read_command function in memcached.c in memcached before 1.4.39 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a request to add/set a key, which makes a comparison between signed and unsigned int and triggers a heap-based buffer over-read (CVE-2017-9951).
