Amazon Linux AMI : openssl097a (ALAS-2014-351)

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 : chrony (ALAS-2014-366)

It was reported that the cmdmon protocol implemented in chrony was found to be vulnerable to DDoS attacks using traffic amplification. By default, commands are allowed only from localhost, but it's possible to configure chronyd to allow commands from any address. This could allow a remote attacke...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.7.0-openjdk (ALAS-2014-383)

It was discovered that the Hotspot component in OpenJDK did not properly verify bytecode from the class files. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. CVE-2014-4216 , CVE-2014-4219 A format string flaw was discovered in the Hotsp...

Amazon Linux AMI : nspr (ALAS-2014-384)

Mozilla Netscape Portable Runtime NSPR before 4.10.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service out-of-bounds write via vectors involving the sprintf and console functions. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin...

Amazon Linux AMI : php55 (ALAS-2014-342)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql55 (ALAS-2014-329)

This update fixes numerous unspecified by upstream vulnerabilities in the MySQL Server component 5.5.35 and earlier and 5.6.15 and earlier. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory ALAS-2014-329...

Amazon Linux AMI : mod24_wsgi (ALAS-2014-375)

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 : libtasn1 (ALAS-2014-359)

It was discovered that the asn1getbitder function of the libtasn1 library incorrectly reported the length of ASN.1-encoded data. Specially crafted ASN.1 input could cause an application using libtasn1 to perform an out-of-bounds access operation, causing the application to crash or, possibly,...

Amazon Linux AMI : httpd24 (ALAS-2014-389)

A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in the modstatus httpd module. A remote attacker able to access a status page served by modstatus on a server using a threaded Multi-Processing Module MPM could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd chi...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2014-368)

arch/x86/kernel/entry32.S in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 on 32-bit x86 platforms, when syscall auditing is enabled and the sep CPU feature flag is set, allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS and system crash via an invalid syscall number, as demonstrated by number 1000. Array...

Amazon Linux AMI : python-jinja2 (ALAS-2014-371)

The default configuration for bccache.FileSystemBytecodeCache in Jinja2 before 2.7.2 does not properly create temporary files, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted .cache file with a name starting with jinja2 in /tmp.
