Security Fix(es):

* Two integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were

specially crafted message that would cause the memcached server to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-8704, CVE-2016-8705)

* An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
