The put command functionality in beanstalkd 1.4.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Beanstalk commands via the body in a job that is too big, which is not properly handled by the dispatch_cmd function in prot.c.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-08 (Multiple packages, Multiple vulnerabilities fixed in 2010)

    A context-dependent attacker may be able to gain escalated privileges,       execute arbitrary code, cause Denial of Service, obtain sensitive       information, or otherwise bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There are no known workarounds at this time.

The installed version of Beanstalkd allows injection of Beanstalk commands. 

A malicious producer process or client could exploit this issue to inject arbitrary beanstalkd commands via the 'PUT' command to view status of existing jobs or delete jobs from the Beanstalkd queue without co-operation from the consumer process or the client.
