memcached (1.4.21-1.1+deb8u2) jessie-security; urgency=high * memcached is now configured to disable its UDP port by default, to prevent its use as a DDoS amplifier. To re-enable UDP service, add '-U 11211' to /etc/memcached.conf and restart the memcached service. -- Salvatore Bonaccorso Sun, 03 Jun 2018 12:16:35 +0200 memcached (1.4.20-1) unstable; urgency=medium Starting with this release, a system user "memcache" will be created.
