  Aye, sounds like it's a good time to develop another memcached replacement. Tip: if your memcached replacement doesn't trivially allow the rooting of its server, and if you don't also defiantly leave the exploit in while explaining that "you must be --- this tall --- to use redis without it behaving like a malware installation", and that any dirty normies deserve that fate, then you're already better than redis! :)

    I don't think Morgan Stanley is about to sell Redis hosting, but what do I know.
