Amazon Linux AMI : jakarta-commons-httpclient (ALAS-2013-169)

The Jakarta Commons HttpClient component did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name CN or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for...

Amazon Linux AMI : libproxy (ALAS-2012-140)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libproxy handled the downloading of proxy auto-configuration PAC files. A malicious server hosting a PAC file or a man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using libproxy to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code, if th...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2012-36)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 decoded entity references with long names. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrar...

Amazon Linux AMI : rsyslog (ALAS-2012-105)

A numeric truncation error, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the rsyslog imfile module processed text files containing long lines. An attacker could use this flaw to crash the rsyslogd daemon or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of rsyslogd, if the...

Amazon Linux AMI : libtiff (ALAS-2012-106)

libtiff did not properly convert between signed and unsigned integer values, leading to a buffer overflow. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code...

Amazon Linux AMI : python27 (ALAS-2012-81)

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 : php (ALAS-2013-211)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PHP parsed deeply nested XML documents. If a PHP application used the xmlparseintostruct function to parse untrusted XML content, an attacker able to supply specially crafted XML could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, execute arbitra...

Amazon Linux AMI : ruby (ALAS-2012-35)

Ruby aka CRuby before 1.8.7-p357 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2011-07)

The MITRE CVE database describes these CVEs as : Revert isa behavior to php = 5.3.6 and add a new new option allowstring for the new behavior accept string and raise autoload if needed Use-after-free vulnerability in the substrreplace function in PHP 5.3.6 and earlier allows context-dependent...

Amazon Linux AMI : krb5 (ALAS-2011-15)

Multiple NULL pointer dereference and assertion failure flaws were found in the MIT Kerberos KDC when it was configured to use an LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol or Berkeley Database Berkeley DB back end. A remote attacker could use these flaws to crash the KDC. CVE-2011-1527 ,...

Amazon Linux AMI : openldap (ALAS-2012-101)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the OpenLDAP server daemon slapd processed certain search queries requesting only attributes and no values. In certain configurations, a remote attacker could issue a specially crafted LDAP search query that, when processed by slapd, would cause slapd...
