Multiple cross-site scripting XSS vulnerabilities in the balancerhandler function in the manager interface in modproxybalancer.c in the modproxybalancer module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x before 2.2.24-dev and 2.4.x before 2.4.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML vi...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.6.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-185)

Multiple flaws were discovered in the font layout engine in the 2D component. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to trigger Java Virtual Machine memory corruption. CVE-2013-1569 , CVE-2013-2383 , CVE-2013-2384 Multiple improper permission check issues were...

Amazon Linux AMI : sudo (ALAS-2012-110)

A flaw was found in the way the network matching code in sudo handled multiple IP networks listed in user specification configuration directives. A user, who is authorized to run commands with sudo on specific hosts, could use this flaw to bypass intended restrictions and run those commands on...

Amazon Linux AMI : pam (ALAS-2013-160)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the pamenv module parsed users' '/.pamenvironment' files. If an application's PAM configuration contained 'userreadenv=1' this is not the default, a local attacker could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, escalate their...

Amazon Linux AMI : libexif (ALAS-2012-126)

Multiple flaws were found in the way libexif processed Exif tags. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when opened in an application linked against libexif, could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user runnin...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl (ALAS-2011-04)

The MITRE CVE database describes CVE-2011-3207 as : crypto/x509/x509vfy.c in OpenSSL 1.0.x before 1.0.0e does not initialize certain structure members, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass CRL validation by using a nextUpdate value corresponding to a time in the past. C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.6.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-163)

An improper permission check issue was discovered in the JMX component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. CVE-2013-1486 It was discovered that OpenJDK leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL protocol encrypted...

Amazon Linux AMI : gdb (ALAS-2013-159)

GDB tried to auto-load certain files such as GDB scripts, Python scripts, and a thread debugging library from the current working directory when debugging programs. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code with the user's privileges when GDB was run in a directory that has untrusted...

Amazon Linux AMI : axis (ALAS-2013-164)

Apache Axis did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name CN or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name. CVE-2012-57...

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 : busybox (ALAS-2012-103)

A buffer underflow flaw was found in the way the uncompress utility of BusyBox expanded certain archive files compressed using Lempel-Ziv compression. If a user were tricked into expanding a specially crafted archive file with uncompress, it could cause BusyBox to crash or, potentially, execute...

Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2013-212)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PHP parsed deeply nested XML documents. If a PHP application used the xmlparseintostruct function to parse untrusted XML content, an attacker able to supply specially crafted XML could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, execute arbitra...
