NVD Description

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

In Memcached before 1.6.22, a buffer overflow exists when processing multiget requests in proxy mode, if there are many spaces after the "get" substring.
