Amazon Linux AMI : quagga (ALAS-2012-70)

Buffer overflow in the OSPFv2 implementation in ospfd in Quagga before 0.99.20.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service daemon crash via a Link State Update aka LS Update packet containing a network-LSA link-state advertisement for which the data-structure length is smaller than the...

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 : postgresql8 (ALAS-2012-82)

The pgdump utility inserted object names literally into comments in the SQL script it produces. An unprivileged database user could create an object whose name includes a newline followed by a SQL command. This SQL command might then be executed by a privileged user during later restore of the...

Amazon Linux AMI : fetchmail (ALAS-2012-132)

Fetchmail 5.0.8 through 6.3.21, when using NTLM authentication in debug mode, allows remote NTLM servers to 1 cause a denial of service crash and delayed delivery of inbound mail via a crafted NTLM response that triggers an out-of-bounds read in the base64 decoder, or 2 obtain sensitive informati...

Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2012-66)

Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled fonts in various formats. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin...

Amazon Linux AMI : httpd (ALAS-2012-46)

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2011-3368 did not completely address the problem. An attacker could bypass the fix and make a reverse proxy connect to an arbitrary server not directly accessible to the attacker by sending an HTTP version 0.9 request, or by using a specially crafted URI...

Amazon Linux AMI : bind (ALAS-2013-158)

A flaw was found in the DNS64 implementation in BIND when using Response Policy Zones RPZ. If a remote attacker sent a specially crafted query to a named server that is using RPZ rewrite rules, named could exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure. Note that DNS64 support is not enabled by...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2012-57)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the implementation of the printf functions family. This could allow an attacker to bypass FORTIFYSOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code using a format string flaw in an application, even though these protections are expected to limit the impact of such...

Amazon Linux AMI : cups (ALAS-2013-170)

It was discovered that CUPS administrative users members of the SystemGroups groups who are permitted to perform CUPS configuration changes via the CUPS web interface could manipulate the CUPS configuration to gain unintended privileges. Such users could read or write arbitrary files with the...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl (ALAS-2012-72)

Multiple numeric conversion errors, leading to a buffer overflow, were found in the way OpenSSL parsed ASN.1 Abstract Syntax Notation One data from BIO OpenSSL's I/O abstraction inputs. Specially crafted DER Distinguished Encoding Rules encoded data read from a file or other BIO input could cause...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-45)

The journalunmapbuffer function in fs/jbd2/transaction.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3.1 does not properly handle the Delay and Unwritten buffer head states, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash by leveraging the presence of an ext4 filesystem that was mounted with ...
