Subject: Re: Memcached 1.4.32 and earlier buffer overflow.
As per Talos page, there seems to be three issues.
CVE-2016-8704 - Memcached server append/prepend remote code execution
vulnerability
An integer overflow in the process_bin_append_prepend function which is
responsible for processing multiple commands of Memcached binary
protocol can be abused to cause heap overflow and lead to remote code
execution.

CVE-2016-8705 - Memcached server update remote code execution vulnerability
Multiple integer overflows in process_bin_update function which is
responsible for processing multiple commands of Memcached binary
protocol can be abused to cause heap overflow and lead to remote code
execution.
http://www.talosintelligence.com/reports/TALOS-2016-0220/
CVE-2016-8706 - Memcached server SASL authentication remote code
execution vulnerability
An integer overflow in process_bin_sasl_auth function which is
responsible for authentication commands of Memcached binary protocol can
be abused to cause heap overflow and lead to remote code execution.

There is also a talos blog post about these issues:
