Similarly I have not created CVE's for any of these as that requires
understanding the severity of each bug. In most cases these submissions
vastly overstated the severity of the bug. I leave it up to the submitters
to request their own CVE's if they wish.
MITRE has issued two CVE's now:
CVE-2026-47783
--------------
In memcached before 1.6.42, username data for SASL password database
authentication has a timing side channel because a loop exits as soon
as a valid username is found by sasl_server_userdb_checkpass.

CVE-2026-47784
--------------
In memcached before 1.6.42, password data for SASL password database
authentication has a timing side channel because memcmp is used by
sasl_server_userdb_checkpass.
