Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql9 (ALAS-2013-178)

Argument injection vulnerability in PostgreSQL 9.2.x before 9.2.4, 9.1.x before 9.1.9, and 9.0.x before 9.0.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service file corruption, and allows remote authenticated users to modify configuration settings and execute arbitrary code, via a connection...

Amazon Linux AMI : cacti (ALAS-2012-32)

The release notes for Cacti 0.8.7i 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-2012-32...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl-libwww-perl (ALAS-2011-17)

The Net::HTTPS module in libwww-perl LWP before 6.00, as used in WWW::Mechanize, LWP::UserAgent, and other products, when running in environments that do not set the If-SSL-Cert-Subject header, does not enable full validation of SSL certificates by default, which allows remote attackers to spoof...

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 : ruby19 (ALAS-2013-195)

lib/rexml/text.rb in the REXML parser in Ruby before 1.9.3-p392 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption and crash via crafted text nodes in an XML document, aka an XML Entity Expansion XEE attack. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2012-41)

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2011-4885 introduced an uninitialized memory use flaw. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request to cause the PHP interpreter to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package...

Amazon Linux AMI : bind (ALAS-2012-113)

An uninitialized data structure use flaw was found in BIND when DNSSEC validation was enabled. A remote attacker able to send a large number of queries to a DNSSEC validating BIND resolver could use this flaw to cause it to exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure. CVE-2012-3817 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl (ALAS-2012-38)

It was discovered that the Datagram Transport Layer Security DTLS protocol implementation in OpenSSL leaked timing information when performing certain operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from the encrypted packets by using a DTLS server as a padding...

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 : nagios (ALAS-2012-50)

Multiple cross-site scripting XSS vulnerabilities in config.c in config.cgi in 1 Nagios 3.2.3 and 2 Icinga before 1.4.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the expand parameter, as demonstrated by an a command action or a b hosts action. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql9 (ALAS-2012-91)

The cryptdes aka DES-based crypt function in FreeBSD before 9.0-RELEASE-p2, as used in PHP, PostgreSQL, and other products, does not process the complete cleartext password if this password contains a 0x80 character, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain access via an...

Amazon Linux AMI : python-crypto (ALAS-2012-86)

PyCrypto before 2.6 does not produce appropriate prime numbers when using an ElGamal scheme to generate a key, which reduces the signature space or public key space and makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute-force attacks to obtain the private key. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.7.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-151)

Two improper permission check issues were discovered in the reflection API in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from...

Amazon Linux AMI : ghostscript (ALAS-2012-42)

An integer overflow flaw was found in Ghostscript's TrueType bytecode interpreter. An attacker could create a specially crafted PostScript or PDF file that, when interpreted, could cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. CVE-2009-3743 It was found that Ghostscript alwa...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl-DBD-Pg (ALAS-2012-112)

Two format string flaws were found in perl-DBD-Pg. A specially crafted database warning or error message from a server could cause an application using perl-DBD-Pg to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. CVE-2012-1151 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : libpng (ALAS-2012-56)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libpng processed compressed chunks in PNG image files.
