CVE-2013-7290 (GCVE-0-2013-7290)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2014-01-13 21:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 18:01
VLAI
Summary
The do_item_get function in items.c in memcached 1.4.4 and other versions before 1.4.17, when running in verbose mode, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a request to delete a key, which does not account for the lack of a null terminator in the key and triggers a buffer over-read when printing to stderr, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-0179.
