How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 memcached to version 1.4.13-0.3 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.

memcached before 1.4.17 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by sending an invalid request with SASL credentials, then sending another request with incorrect SASL credentials.
