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 1.6.x before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted binary protocol header to try_read_command_binary in memcached.c.
