Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for memcachedb.

CVE-2009-1255[0]:
| The process_stat function in (1) Memcached before 1.2.8 and (2)
| MemcacheDB 1.2.0 discloses (a) the contents of /proc/self/maps in
| response to a stats maps command and (b) memory-allocation statistics
| in response to a stats malloc command, which allows remote attackers
| to obtain sensitive information such as the locations of memory
| regions, and defeat ASLR protection, by sending a command to the
| daemon's TCP port.

CVE id in your changelog entry.
