Amazon Linux AMI : bash (ALAS-2014-418) (Shellshock)

This ALAS is superceded by ALAS-2014-419. A flaw was found in the way Bash evaluated certain specially crafted environment variables. An attacker could use this flaw to override or bypass environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Certain services and applications allow remote...

Amazon Linux AMI : dovecot (ALAS-2014-386)

Dovecot 1.1 before 2.2.13 and dovecot-ee before 2.1.7.7 and 2.2.x before 2.2.12.12 does not properly close old connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service resource consumption via an incomplete SSL/TLS handshake for an IMAP/POP3 connection. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : curl (ALAS-2014-407)

libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for TLDs, thus making them much broader then they are supposed to be allowed to. This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to a different and unrelated site or domain. By not detecting and rejecting domain names for partial...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2014-355)

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in net/netfilter/ipvs/ipvsctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33, when CONFIGIPVS is used, allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging the CAPNETADMIN capability for 1 a getsockopt system call, related to the doipvsgetctl function, or 2 a setsockopt...
