Memcached · Memcached · CVE-2009-1255
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Memcached versions prior to 1.2.8
MemcacheDB version 1.2.0
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, such as the locations of memory regions, by sending a command to the daemon's TCP port. This can defeat ASLR protection. The `process stat` function discloses the contents of `/proc/self/maps` in response to a `stats maps` command and memory-allocation statistics in response to a `stats malloc` command.
**Recommendations**
For Memcached versions prior to 1.2.8, update to version 1.2.8 or later to resolve the issue.
For MemcacheDB version 1.2.0, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `stats maps` and `stats malloc` commands to minimize the risk of exploitation.
