Last modified

CVE-2013-0179 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The process_bin_delete function in memcached.c in memcached 1.4.4 and other versions before 1.4.17, when running in verbose mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a request to delete a key, which does not account for the lack of a null terminator in the key and triggers a buffer over-read when printing to stderr.. EPSS estimates a 1.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
