Someone on overthewire irc mentioned this commit being blamed for current DoS attacks
https://github.com/memcached/memcached/commit/2439472aae5960b9b2f8ef93f3f62047a28700f2
And fixed with
https://github.com/memcached/memcached/commit/dbb7a8af90054bf4ef51f5814ef7ceb17d83d974
As you should have thought, this kinda issue could be only triggered by UDP, as you cannot fake your TCP/IP address.

I tried to access Context but I got a null-pointer exception. What DoS attacks? On OTW? WeChall? Are we under attack? *runs around screaming*
Also, you can easily spoof your TCP/IP address, it's just a bit harder to set up an actual session with it... ;)

MemcacheD attacks were in the news.
I thought it might be of interest.
