This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in memcached. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a specially crafted packet to memcached. This can lead to a buffer overflow and possible code execution in the context of the user.
An integer overflow in process_bin_sasl_auth function in Memcached, which is responsible for authentication commands of Memcached binary protocol, can be abused to cause heap overflow and lead to remote code execution.
