CVE-2010-1152 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in memcached versions prior to 1.4.3, and also affects memcachedb. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted, excessively long line, leading to high memory consumption that causes the daemon to hang or crash. With a CVSS score of 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, resulting in a denial of service. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog and with no recorded social media or media coverage, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-33850) for memcached 1.4.2 confirms the existence of public exploit code.
