Bug Description

memcached supports TCP and UDP servers, when the UDP server is enabled, and the configuration does not specify localhost or 127.0.0.1, and the server does not firewall the memcached port (11211 by default) can be exploited for network traffic amplification attacks by spoofed UDP packets.

CVE-2018-1000115

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1551182

We need to disable UDP on memcached.
