How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 memcached to version 1.4.13-0.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream memcached package and not the memcached package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
