Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libmemcached. It is
fixed with the recent upload 1.1.4-1 to unstable already. But the fix
should land in bookworm as well before bookworm release ideally.

CVE-2023-27478[0]:
| libmemcached-awesome is an open source C/C++ client library and tools
| for the memcached server. `libmemcached` could return data for a
| previously requested key, if that previous request timed out due to a
| low `POLL_TIMEOUT`. This issue has been addressed in version 1.1.4.
| Users are advised to upgrade. There are several ways to workaround or
| lower the probability of this bug affecting a given deployment. 1: use
| a reasonably high `POLL_TIMEOUT` setting, like the default. 2: use
| separate libmemcached connections for unrelated data. 3: do not re-use
| libmemcached connections in an unknown state.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
