Amazon Linux AMI : jakarta-commons-httpclient (ALAS-2013-169)

The Jakarta Commons HttpClient component 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...

Amazon Linux AMI : socat (ALAS-2012-87)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the xioscanreadline function in xio-readline.c in socat 1.4.0.0 through 1.7.2.0 and 2.0.0-b1 through 2.0.0-b4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via the READLINE address. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugi...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-83)

It was found that the datalen parameter of the sockallocsendpskb function in the Linux kernel's networking implementation was not validated before use.

Amazon Linux AMI : openswan (ALAS-2013-192)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in Openswan. If Opportunistic Encryption were enabled 'oe=yes' in '/etc/ipsec.conf' and an RSA key configured, an attacker able to cause a system to perform a DNS lookup for an attacker-controlled domain containing malicious records such as by sending an email tha...

Amazon Linux AMI : ruby (ALAS-2013-173)

It was discovered that Ruby's REXML library did not properly restrict XML entity expansion. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by tricking a Ruby application using REXML to read text nodes from specially crafted XML content, which will result in REXML consuming large...

Amazon Linux AMI : libpng (ALAS-2012-49)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in libpng. An attacker could create a specially crafted PNG image that, when opened, could cause an application using libpng to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. CVE-2011-3026 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : systemtap (ALAS-2012-54)

An invalid pointer read flaw was found in the way SystemTap handled malformed debugging information in DWARF format. When SystemTap unprivileged mode was enabled, an unprivileged user in the stapusr group could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, read arbitrary kernel memory...

Amazon Linux AMI : puppet (ALAS-2012-135)

Directory traversal vulnerability in lib/puppet/reports/store.rb in Puppet before 2.6.17 and 2.7.x before 2.7.18, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.5.2, when Delete is enabled in auth.conf, allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files on the puppet master server via a .. dot dot in a...

Amazon Linux AMI : openldap (ALAS-2012-101)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the OpenLDAP server daemon slapd processed certain search queries requesting only attributes and no values. In certain configurations, a remote attacker could issue a specially crafted LDAP search query that, when processed by slapd, would cause slapd...

Amazon Linux AMI : libproxy (ALAS-2012-140)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libproxy handled the downloading of proxy auto-configuration PAC files. A malicious server hosting a PAC file or a man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using libproxy to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code, if th...

Amazon Linux AMI : rsyslog (ALAS-2012-105)

A numeric truncation error, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the rsyslog imfile module processed text files containing long lines. An attacker could use this flaw to crash the rsyslogd daemon or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of rsyslogd, if the...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2011-22)

The epoll implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.37.2 and earlier does not properly traverse a tree of epoll file descriptors, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted application that makes epollcreate and epollctl system calls. Buffer overflow in the...

Amazon Linux AMI : ruby (ALAS-2012-35)

Ruby aka CRuby before 1.8.7-p357 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2013-211)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PHP parsed deeply nested XML documents. If a PHP application used the xmlparseintostruct function to parse untrusted XML content, an attacker able to supply specially crafted XML could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, execute arbitra...

Amazon Linux AMI : python27 (ALAS-2012-81)

SimpleXMLRPCServer.py in SimpleXMLRPCServer in Python before 2.6.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.3, 3.x before 3.1.5, and 3.2.x before 3.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service infinite loop and CPU consumption via an XML-RPC POST request that contains a smaller amount of data than specified...

Amazon Linux AMI : cyrus-imapd (ALAS-2011-27)

An authentication bypass flaw was found in the cyrus-imapd NNTP server, nntpd. A remote user able to use the nntpd service could use this flaw to read or post newsgroup messages on an NNTP server configured to require user authentication, without providing valid authentication credentials...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2011-16)

The skbgroheaderslow function in include/linux/netdevice.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4, when Generic Receive Offload GRO is enabled, resets certain fields in incorrect situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service system crash via crafted network traffic. Race...

Amazon Linux AMI : fail2ban (ALAS-2013-209)

The apache-auth.conf, apache-nohome.conf, apache-noscript.conf, and apache-overflows.conf files in Fail2ban before 0.8.10 do not properly validate log messages, which allows remote attackers to block arbitrary IP addresses via certain messages in a request. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : krb5 (ALAS-2011-15)

Multiple NULL pointer dereference and assertion failure flaws were found in the MIT Kerberos KDC when it was configured to use an LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol or Berkeley Database Berkeley DB back end. A remote attacker could use these flaws to crash the KDC. CVE-2011-1527 ,...
