Amazon Linux AMI : tomcat6 (ALAS-2014-344)

It was found that when Tomcat processed a series of HTTP requests in which at least one request contained either multiple content-length headers, or one content-length header with a chunked transfer-encoding header, Tomcat would incorrectly handle the request. A remote attacker could use this fla...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl-FCGI (ALAS-2011-5)

The FCGI aka Fast CGI module 0.70 through 0.73 for Perl, as used by CGI::Fast, uses environment variable values from one request during processing of a later request, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via crafted HTTP headers. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive...

Amazon Linux AMI : mod_wsgi (ALAS-2014-376)

It was found that modwsgi did not properly drop privileges if the call to setuid failed. If modwsgi was set up to allow unprivileged users to run WSGI applications, a local user able to run a WSGI application could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. Note: modwsgi i...

Amazon Linux AMI : php55 (ALAS-2014-332)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : libXfont (ALAS-2014-404)

Multiple integer overflows in the 1 fsgetreply, 2 fsallocglyphs, and 3 fsreadextentinfo functions in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.8 and 1.4.9x before 1.4.99.901 allow remote font servers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted xfs reply, which triggers a buffer overflow. Multiple buffer overflows in...

Amazon Linux AMI : httpd (ALAS-2014-331)

It was found that the moddav module did not correctly strip leading white space from certain elements in a parsed XML. In certain httpd configurations that use the moddav module for example when using the moddavsvn module, a remote attacker could send a specially crafted DAV request that would...

Amazon Linux AMI : file (ALAS-2014-382)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the File Information fileinfo extension parsed certain Composite Document Format CDF files. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash a PHP application using fileinfo via a specially crafted CDF file. Buffer overflow in the mconvert function in...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2014-400)

A directory traversal flaw was found in the way glibc loaded locale files. An attacker able to make an application use a specially crafted locale name value for example, specified in an LC environment variable could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2014-417)

fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does not properly restrict clearing MNTNODEV, MNTNOSUID, and MNTNOEXEC and changing MNTATIMEMASK during a remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to gain privileges, interfere with backups and auditing on systems that had atime enabled, ...

Amazon Linux AMI : bash (ALAS-2014-418) (Shellshock)

This ALAS is superceded by ALAS-2014-419. A flaw was found in the way Bash evaluated certain specially crafted environment variables. An attacker could use this flaw to override or bypass environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Certain services and applications allow remote...

Amazon Linux AMI : squid (ALAS-2014-360)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Squid processed certain HTTPS requests when the SSL Bump feature was enabled. A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests that could cause Squid to crash. CVE-2014-0128 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package chec...

Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2014-343)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2014-333)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : pam (ALAS-2014-354)

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in pamtimestamp.c in the pamtimestamp module for Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.8 allow local users to create aribitrary files or possibly bypass authentication via a .. dot dot in the 1 PAMRUSER value to the getruser function or 2 PAMTTY value to the checktty...

Amazon Linux AMI : httpd (ALAS-2014-388)

A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in the modstatus httpd module. A remote attacker able to access a status page served by modstatus on a server using a threaded Multi-Processing Module MPM could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd chi...

Amazon Linux AMI : automake19 (ALAS-2014-401)

It was found that the distcheck rule in Automake-generated Makefiles made a directory world-writable when preparing source archives. If a malicious, local user could access this directory, they could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running 'make distcheck'. C Tenable Networ...
