Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql9 (ALAS-2012-121)

The libxslt support in contrib/xml2 in PostgreSQL 8.3 before 8.3.20, 8.4 before 8.4.13, 9.0 before 9.0.9, and 9.1 before 9.1.5 does not properly restrict access to files and URLs, which allows remote authenticated users to modify data, obtain sensitive information, or trigger outbound traffic to...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql51 (ALAS-2013-186)

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found in the References section. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory ALAS-2013-18...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl (ALAS-2011-19)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Perl decoded Unicode strings. An attacker could create a malicious Unicode string that, when decoded by a Perl program, would cause the program to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the...

Amazon Linux AMI : dhcp (ALAS-2012-115)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled zero-length client identifiers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted request to dhcpd, possibly causing it to enter an infinite loop and consume an excessive amount of CPU time. CVE-2012-3571 Two...

Amazon Linux AMI : jasper (ALAS-2011-29)

Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way JasPer decoded JPEG 2000 compressed image files. An attacker could create a malicious JPEG 2000 compressed image file that, when opened, would cause applications that use JasPer such as Nautilus to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql (ALAS-2011-12)

A signedness issue was found in the way the crypt function in the PostgreSQL pgcrypto module handled 8-bit characters in passwords when using Blowfish hashing. Up to three characters immediately preceding a non-ASCII character one with the high bit set had no effect on the hash result, thus...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnutls (ALAS-2013-172)

It was discovered that GnuTLS leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL 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 server as a padding oracle...

Amazon Linux AMI : ghostscript (ALAS-2012-127)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in Ghostscript's International Color Consortium Format library icclib. An attacker could create a specially crafted PostScript or PDF file with embedded images that would cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execu...

Amazon Linux AMI : nss (ALAS-2013-149)

It was found that a Certificate Authority CA mis-issued two intermediate certificates to customers. These certificates could be used to launch man-in-the-middle attacks. This update renders those certificates as untrusted. This covers all uses of the certificates, including SSL, S/MIME, and code...

Amazon Linux AMI : nagios (ALAS-2012-50)

Multiple cross-site scripting XSS vulnerabilities in config.c in config.cgi in 1 Nagios 3.2.3 and 2 Icinga before 1.4.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the expand parameter, as demonstrated by an a command action or a b hosts action. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : rubygems (ALAS-2012-79)

RubyGems before 1.8.23 can redirect HTTPS connections to HTTP, which makes it easier for remote attackers to observe or modify a gem during installation via a man-in-the-middle attack. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amaz...

Amazon Linux AMI : rpm (ALAS-2011-14)

Multiple flaws were found in the way the RPM library parsed package headers. An attacker could create a specially crafted RPM package that, when queried or installed, would cause rpm to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. CVE-2011-3378 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive...

Amazon Linux AMI : gdb (ALAS-2013-159)

GDB tried to auto-load certain files such as GDB scripts, Python scripts, and a thread debugging library from the current working directory when debugging programs. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code with the user's privileges when GDB was run in a directory that has untrusted...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-34)

The Linux kernel before 3.2.2 does not properly restrict SGIO ioctl calls, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on disk read and write operations by sending a SCSI command to 1 a partition block device or 2 an LVM volume. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text a...

Amazon Linux AMI : quagga (ALAS-2012-90)

The bgpcapabilityorf function in bgpd in Quagga 0.99.20.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service assertion failure and daemon exit by leveraging a BGP peering relationship and sending a malformed Outbound Route Filtering ORF capability TLV in an OPEN message. C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : openswan (ALAS-2011-18)

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way Openswan's pluto IKE daemon used cryptographic helpers. A remote, authenticated attacker could send a specially crafted IKE packet that would crash the pluto daemon. This issue only affected SMP symmetric multiprocessing systems that have the cryptograph...

Amazon Linux AMI : cacti (ALAS-2012-32)

The release notes for Cacti 0.8.7i indicate that two security vulnerabilities were fixed, though no corresponding CVE has been issued. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory ALAS-2012-32...

Amazon Linux AMI : ca-certificates (ALAS-2011-03)

This update includes the latest updates to the root Certificate Authority list from Mozilla. It was found that a Certificate Authority CA issued fraudulent HTTPS certificates. This update removes that CA's root certificate from the ca-certificates package, rendering any HTTPS certificates signed ...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxslt (ALAS-2012-123)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxslt applied templates to nodes selected by certain namespaces. An attacker could use this flaw to create a malicious XSL file that, when used by an application linked against libxslt to perform an XSL transformation, could cause the...
