NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream memcached.src package and not the memcached.src package as distributed by RHEL.

In memcached before 1.5.14, a NULL pointer dereference was found in the "lru mode" and "lru temp_ttl" commands. This causes a denial of service when parsing crafted lru command messages in process_lru_command in memcached.c.
