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 : libxml2 (ALAS-2012-52)

It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially crafted message to an XML service could result in longer processing time, which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue, randomization has been added ...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql55 (ALAS-2012-93)

sql/password.c in Oracle MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.63, 5.5.x before 5.5.24, and 5.6.x before 5.6.6, and MariaDB 5.1.x before 5.1.62, 5.2.x before 5.2.12, 5.3.x before 5.3.6, and 5.5.x before 5.5.23, when running in certain environments with certain implementations of the memcmp function, allows remo...

Amazon Linux AMI : krb5 (ALAS-2011-28)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos KDC processed certain TGS Ticket-granting Server requests. A remote, authenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the KDC via a specially crafted TGS request. CVE-2011-1530 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptiv...

Amazon Linux AMI : socat (ALAS-2012-87)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the xioscanreadline function in xio-readline.c in socat 1.4.0.0 through 1.7.2.0 and 2.0.0-b1 through 2.0.0-b4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via the READLINE address. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugi...

Amazon Linux AMI : ruby (ALAS-2013-173)

It was discovered that Ruby's REXML library did not properly restrict XML entity expansion. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by tricking a Ruby application using REXML to read text nodes from specially crafted XML content, which will result in REXML consuming large...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-142)

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem in the way quota handling for huge pages was performed. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or, potentially, escalate their privileges. CVE-2012-2133 , Moderate A use-after-fr...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl098e (ALAS-2012-73)

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 : libtirpc (ALAS-2013-199)

A flaw was found in the way libtirpc decoded RPC requests. A specially crafted RPC request could cause libtirpc to attempt to free a buffer provided by an application using the library, even when the buffer was not dynamically allocated. This could cause an application using libtirpc, such as...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssh (ALAS-2012-99)

A denial of service flaw was found in the OpenSSH GSSAPI authentication implementation. A remote, authenticated user could use this flaw to make the OpenSSH server daemon sshd use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service. GSSAPI authentication is enabled by default...

Amazon Linux AMI : openswan (ALAS-2011-06)

When an ISAKMP message with an invalid KEYLENGTH attribute is received, the error handling function crashes on a NULL pointer dereference. Openswan automatically restarts the pluto IKE daemon but all ISAKMP state is lost. This vulnerability does NOT allow an attacker access to the system. This ca...

Amazon Linux AMI : python-crypto (ALAS-2012-86)

PyCrypto before 2.6 does not produce appropriate prime numbers when using an ElGamal scheme to generate a key, which reduces the signature space or public key space and makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute-force attacks to obtain the private key. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2012-134)

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way libxml2 handled documents that enable entity expansion. A remote attacker could provide a large, specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the...
