The changeuser method in the SUIDManager...

Amazon Linux AMI : bind (ALAS-2012-146)

A flaw was found in the DNS64 implementation in BIND. If a remote attacker sent a specially crafted query to a named server, named could exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure. Note that DNS64 support is not enabled by default. CVE-2012-5688 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql8 (ALAS-2012-129)

It was found that the optional PostgreSQL xml2 contrib module allowed local files and remote URLs to be read and written to with the privileges of the database server when parsing Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations XSLT. An unprivileged database user could use this flaw to read and...

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 : 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 : xorg-x11-server (ALAS-2012-104)

A flaw was found in the way the X.Org server handled lock files. A local user with access to the system console could use this flaw to determine the existence of a file in a directory not accessible to the user, via a symbolic link attack. CVE-2011-4028 A race condition was found in the way the...
