The default configuration in cURL and libcurl 7.10.6 before 7.36.0 re-uses 1 SCP, 2 SFTP, 3 POP3, 4 POP3S, 5 IMAP, 6 IMAPS, 7 SMTP, 8 SMTPS, 9 LDAP, and 10 LDAPS connections, which might allow context-dependent attackers to connect as other users via a request, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0015 . ...

Amazon Linux AMI : libyaml (ALAS-2014-321)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the yamlparserscanuriescapes function in LibYAML before 0.1.6 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long sequence of percent-encoded characters in a URI in a YAML file. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package...

Amazon Linux AMI Update: kernel / openssh Denial of Service (ALAS-2014-319)

Due to a problem with the configuration of kernels 3.10.34-37 and 3.10.34-38 and their interaction with the authentication modules stack, the sshd daemon that is part of the openssh package will no longer allow remote logins following a restart of the sshd service. C Tenable Network Security, Inc...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl Information Disclosure Vulnerability (ALAS-2014-320)

A missing bounds check was found in the way OpenSSL handled TLS heartbeat extension packets. This flaw could be used to reveal up to 64k of memory from a connected client or server. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon...

Amazon Linux AMI : 389-ds-base (ALAS-2014-311)

It was discovered that the 389 Directory Server did not properly handle certain SASL-based authentication mechanisms. A user able to authenticate to the directory using these SASL mechanisms could connect as any other directory user, including the administrative Directory Manager account. This...

Amazon Linux AMI : subversion (ALAS-2014-318)

A flaw was found in the way the moddavsvn module handled OPTIONS requests. A remote attacker with read access to an SVN repository served via HTTP could use this flaw to cause the httpd process that handled such a request to crash. The getresource function in repos.c in the moddavsvn module in...

Amazon Linux AMI : httpd24 (ALAS-2014-309)

The logcookie function in modlogconfig.c in the modlogconfig module in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service segmentation fault and daemon crash via a crafted cookie that is not properly handled during truncation. C Tenable Network Security, Inc...

Amazon Linux AMI : php55 (ALAS-2014-314)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the File Information fileinfo extension handled indirect rules.
