3. Description:

memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system,
generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web
applications by alleviating database load.

Security Fix(es):

* Two integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were
found in the memcached binary protocol. An attacker could create a
specially crafted message that would cause the memcached server to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-8704, CVE-2016-8705)
