Amazon Linux AMI : ruby19 (ALAS-2013-195)

lib/rexml/text.rb in the REXML parser in Ruby before 1.9.3-p392 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption and crash via crafted text nodes in an XML document, aka an XML Entity Expansion XEE attack. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package...

Amazon Linux AMI : nss (ALAS-2012-108)

A flaw was found in the way the ASN.1 Abstract Syntax Notation One decoder in NSS handled zero length items. This flaw could cause the decoder to incorrectly skip or replace certain items with a default value, or could cause an application to crash if, for example, it received a specially crafted...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2012-41)

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2011-4885 introduced an uninitialized memory use flaw. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request to cause the PHP interpreter to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. C Tenable Network Security, Inc.
