Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2012-95)

Integer overflow in the pharparsetarfile function in tar.c in the phar extension in PHP before 5.3.14 and 5.4.x before 5.4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted tar file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow...

Amazon Linux AMI : openldap (ALAS-2012-101)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the OpenLDAP server daemon slapd processed certain search queries requesting only attributes and no values. In certain configurations, a remote attacker could issue a specially crafted LDAP search query that, when processed by slapd, would cause slapd...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl (ALAS-2013-177)

A heap overflow flaw was found in Perl. If a Perl application allowed user input to control the count argument of the string repeat operator, an attacker could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql51 (ALAS-2012-145)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the user permission checking code in MySQL. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to crash the mysqld daemon or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the mysqld daemon. CVE-2012-5611 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : nginx (ALAS-2013-189)

http/modules/ngxhttpproxymodule.c in nginx 1.1.4 through 1.2.8 and 1.3.0 through 1.4.0, when proxypass is used with untrusted HTTP servers, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash and obtain sensitive information from worker process memory via a crafted proxy response, a simila...

Amazon Linux AMI : cacti (ALAS-2011-23)

The release notes for Cacti 0.8.7h indicate that two security vulnerabilities were fixed, though no corresponding CVE has been issued. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory ALAS-2011-23...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2012-52)

It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially crafted message to an XML service could result in longer processing time, which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue, randomization has been added ...

Amazon Linux AMI : openjpeg (ALAS-2012-111)

An input validation flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenJPEG handled the tile number and size in an image tile header. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted image file that, when decoded using an application linked against OpenJPEG, would cause th...

Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2012-66)

Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled fonts in various formats. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssh (ALAS-2012-99)

A denial of service flaw was found in the OpenSSH GSSAPI authentication implementation. A remote, authenticated user could use this flaw to make the OpenSSH server daemon sshd use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service. GSSAPI authentication is enabled by default...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql55 (ALAS-2012-144)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the user permission checking code in MySQL. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to crash the mysqld daemon or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the mysqld daemon. CVE-2012-5611 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : nrpe (ALAS-2013-203)

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in nrpc.c in Nagios Remote Plug-In Executor NRPE before 2.14 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands via '$' shell metacharacters, which are processed by bash. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in...

Amazon Linux AMI : munin (ALAS-2012-130)

Munin before 2.0.6 stores plugin state files that run as root in the same group-writable directory as non-root plugins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by replacing a state file, as demonstrated using the smart plugin. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2011-16)

The skbgroheaderslow function in include/linux/netdevice.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4, when Generic Receive Offload GRO is enabled, resets certain fields in incorrect situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service system crash via crafted network traffic. Race...
