How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream memcached package and not the memcached package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest 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.
