Amazon Linux AMI : libtiff (ALAS-2012-65)

Two integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way libtiff attempted to allocate space for a tile in a TIFF image file. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against...

Amazon Linux AMI : openldap (ALAS-2012-117)

It was found that the OpenLDAP server daemon ignored olcTLSCipherSuite settings. This resulted in the default cipher suite always being used, which could lead to weaker than expected ciphers being accepted during Transport Layer Security TLS negotiation with OpenLDAP clients. CVE-2012-2668 C...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.7.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-168)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the 2D component handled certain sample model instances.
