NVD Description

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

memcached before 1.4.17, when running in verbose mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a request that triggers an "unbounded key print" during logging, related to an issue that was "quickly grepped out of the source tree," a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-0179 and CVE-2013-7290.
