Hi Dormando,

Thanks for asking this question.  I manually looked at the patches that 
went in memcached 1.4.17 and looked at the code in memcached 1.6.0beta. 
 The 4 issues that we were interested in (CVE-2013-7239 CVE-2013-7291 
CVE-2013-7290 CVE-2013-0179) is already fixed in memcached 1.6.0beta.  We 
were especially worried about 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2013-7239 (memcached: SASL 
authentication allows wrong credentials to access memcache).  I think 
memcached 1.6.0beta is not affected.

Thank you for your help.

Rgds,
anna
