Timing side-channel in memcached versions prior to 1.6.42 allows remote attackers to recover SASL authentication credentials by measuring response times during password comparison. The flaw stems from the use of the non-constant-time memcmp() function within sasl_server_userdb_checkpass, enabling byte-by-byte inference of stored passwords. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix has been published.
Observable timing discrepancy in memcached prior to version 1.6.42 enables remote attackers to enumerate valid SASL authentication usernames by measuring response time differences. The vulnerable sasl_server_userdb_checkpass function exits its credential-file loop early upon matching a valid username, producing measurable timing variance between known and unknown accounts. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
In Memcached before 1.6.22, an off-by-one error exists when processing proxy requests in proxy mode, if \n is used instead of \r\n. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity.
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. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Buffer Copy without Size Check vulnerability could allow attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory.
