Certain AJP protocol connector implementations in Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 through 7.0.20, 6.0.0 through 6.0.33, 5.5.0 through 5.5.33, and possibly other versions allow remote attackers to spoof AJP requests, bypass authentication, and obtain sensitive information by causing the connector to interpret...

Amazon Linux AMI : dhcp (ALAS-2012-31)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled DHCP request packets when regular expression matching was used in '/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf'. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash dhcpd. CVE-2011-4539 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2012-37)

It was found that the hashing routine used by PHP arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. If an HTTP POST request to a PHP application contained many parameters whose names map to the same hash value, a large amount of CPU time would be consumed. This flaw has been mitigated by...

Amazon Linux AMI : libtasn1 (ALAS-2012-60)

A flaw was found in the way libtasn1 decoded DER data. An attacker could create carefully-crafted DER encoded input such as an X.509 certificate that, when parsed by an application that uses libtasn1 such as applications using GnuTLS, could cause the application to crash. CVE-2012-1569 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : systemtap (ALAS-2012-54)

An invalid pointer read flaw was found in the way SystemTap handled malformed debugging information in DWARF format. When SystemTap unprivileged mode was enabled, an unprivileged user in the stapusr group could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, read arbitrary kernel memory...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2012-134)

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way libxml2 handled documents that enable entity expansion. A remote attacker could provide a large, specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the...

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...
