Integer overflow in the trbitfieldEnsureNthBitAlloced function in bitfield.c in Transmission before 2.84 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted peer message, which triggers an out-of-bounds write. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

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 : bash (ALAS-2014-419)

GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the...

Amazon Linux AMI : cyrus-sasl (ALAS-2014-338)

Cyrus SASL 2.1.23, 2.1.26, and earlier does not properly handle when a NULL value is returned upon an error by the crypt function as implemented in glibc 2.17 and later, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service thread crash and consumption via 1 an invalid salt or, when FIPS-140...

Amazon Linux AMI : chkrootkit (ALAS-2014-370)

A quoting issue was found in chkrootkit which would lead to a file in /tmp/ being executed, if /tmp/ was mounted without the noexec option. chkrootkit is typically run as the root user. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : elfutils (ALAS-2014-345)

Integer overflow in the checksection function in dwarfbeginelf.c in the libdw library, as used in elfutils 0.153 and possibly through 0.158 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed compressed debug section in an ELF...

Amazon Linux AMI : 389-ds-base (ALAS-2014-396)

It was found that when replication was enabled for each attribute in 389 Directory Server, which is the default configuration, the server returned replicated metadata when the directory was searched while debugging was enabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to disclose potentially sensiti...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl098e (ALAS-2014-350)

It was found that OpenSSL clients and servers could be forced, via a specially crafted handshake packet, to use weak keying material for communication. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to decrypt and modify traffic between a client and a server. CVE-2014-0224 C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : procmail (ALAS-2014-408)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in procmail's formail utility. A remote attacker could send an email with specially crafted headers that, when processed by formail, could cause procmail to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running formail. CVE-2014-3618 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2014-393)

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. acinclude.m4, as used in the configure script...

Amazon Linux AMI : lua (ALAS-2014-402)

Buffer overflow in the vararg functions in ldo.c in Lua 5.1 through 5.2.x before 5.2.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service crash via a small number of arguments to a function with a large number of fixed arguments. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text...

Amazon Linux AMI : php-ZendFramework (ALAS-2014-394)

The implementation of the ORDER BY SQL statement in ZendDbSelect of Zend Framework 1 contains a potential SQL injection when the query string passed contains parentheses, as discussed in http://framework.zend.com/security/advisory/ZF2014-04. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text a...

Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2011-8)

Multiple input validation flaws were found in the way FreeType processed bitmap font files. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user runnin...

Amazon Linux AMI : perltidy (ALAS-2014-356)

It was discovered that perltidy's maketemporaryfilename function insecurely created temporary files via the use of the tmpnam function. A local attacker could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2014-339)

The nttywrite function in drivers/tty/ntty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the 'LECHO & !OPOST' case, which allows local users to cause a denial of service memory corruption and system crash or gain privileges by triggering a race condition...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl-Capture-Tiny (ALAS-2014-358)

"It was found 1 that the Capture::Tiny module, provided by the perl-Capture-Tiny package, used the File::temp::tmpnam module to generate temporary files : ./lib/Capture/Tiny.pm: $stash-flagfiles$which = scalar tmpnam C Tenable Network Security, Inc.
