Amazon Linux AMI : python27 (ALAS-2013-220)

The ssl.matchhostname function in the SSL module in Python 2.6 through 3.4 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate...

Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2013-224)

Session fixation vulnerability in the Sessions subsystem in PHP before 5.5.2 allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions by specifying a session ID. The opensslx509parse function in openssl.c in the OpenSSL module in PHP before 5.4.18 and 5.5.x before 5.5.2 does not properly handle a '\0'...

Amazon Linux AMI : 389-ds-base (ALAS-2013-223)

ns-slapd in 389 Directory Server before 1.3.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service server crash via a crafted Distinguished Name DN in a MOD operation request. 389 Directory Server does not properly restrict access to entity attributes, which allows remote authenticated users to...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnupg (ALAS-2013-225)

GnuPG before 1.4.14, and Libgcrypt before 1.5.3 as used in GnuPG 2.0.x and possibly other products, allows local users to obtain private RSA keys via a cache side-channel attack involving the L3 cache, aka Flush+Reload. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in...

Amazon Linux AMI : cacti (ALAS-2013-222)

1 snmp.php and 2 rrd.php in Cacti before 0.8.8b allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in unspecified vectors. Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in 1 apipoller.php and 2 utility.php in Cacti before 0.8.8b allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL...

Amazon Linux AMI : puppet (ALAS-2013-219)

Unspecified vulnerability in Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.23 and 3.2.x before 3.2.4, and Puppet Enterprise 2.8.x before 2.8.3 and 3.0.x before 3.0.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Ruby programs from the master via the resourcetype service. NOTE: this vulnerability can only be exploited...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2013-228)

The ipv6createtempaddr function in net/ipv6/addrconf.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8 does not properly handle problems with the generation of IPv6 temporary addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service excessive retries and address-generation outage, and consequently...

Amazon Linux AMI : nspr (ALAS-2013-216)

It was discovered that NSS leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from the encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as a padding...

Amazon Linux AMI : python26 (ALAS-2012-80)

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 : gnutls (ALAS-2013-197)

It was discovered that the fix for the CVE-2013-1619 issue introduced a regression in the way GnuTLS decrypted TLS/SSL encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to crash a server or client application that uses GnuTLS. CVE-2013-2116 C...

Amazon Linux AMI : krb5 (ALAS-2013-208)

It was found that kadmind's kpasswd service did not perform any validation on incoming network packets, causing it to reply to all requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send spoofed packets to a kpasswd service that appear to come from kadmind on a different server, causing the...

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 : kernel (ALAS-2012-122)

The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.2.30 does not properly handle messages that lack SCMCREDENTIALS data, which might allow local users to spoof Netlink communication via a crafted message, as demonstrated by a message to 1 Avahi or 2 NetworkManager. C Tenable Network Security...

Amazon Linux AMI : libtasn1 (ALAS-2012-60)

A flaw was found in the way libtasn1 decoded DER data. An attacker could create carefully-crafted DER encoded input such as an X.509 certificate that, when parsed by an application that uses libtasn1 such as applications using GnuTLS, could cause the application to crash. CVE-2012-1569 C Tenable...
