**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
memcached version 1.5.16
**Description**
The issue is related to a stack-based buffer over-read in the `conn to str` function in `memcached.c`. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For memcached version 1.5.16, consider disabling the use of UNIX sockets as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
