NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream memcached-devel package and not the memcached-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

memcached version prior to 1.4.37 contains an Integer Overflow vulnerability in items.c:item_free() that can result in data corruption and deadlocks due to items existing in hash table being reused from free list. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity to the memcached service. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 1.4.37 and later.
