Memcached · Memcached · CVE-2020-10931
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
memcached versions 1.6.x before 1.6.2
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a daemon crash. This is achieved by sending a crafted binary protocol header to the `try read command binary` function in `memcached.c`.
**Recommendations**
For memcached versions 1.6.x before 1.6.2, update to version 1.6.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `try read command binary` function in `memcached.c` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
