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 : openswan (ALAS-2013-192)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in Openswan. If Opportunistic Encryption were enabled 'oe=yes' in '/etc/ipsec.conf' and an RSA key configured, an attacker able to cause a system to perform a DNS lookup for an attacker-controlled domain containing malicious records such as by sending an email tha...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql8 (ALAS-2012-129)

It was found that the optional PostgreSQL xml2 contrib module allowed local files and remote URLs to be read and written to with the privileges of the database server when parsing Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations XSLT. An unprivileged database user could use this flaw to read and...

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 : kernel (ALAS-2012-45)

The journalunmapbuffer function in fs/jbd2/transaction.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3.1 does not properly handle the Delay and Unwritten buffer head states, which allows local users to cause a denial of service system crash by leveraging the presence of an ext4 filesystem that was mounted with ...

Amazon Linux AMI : pam (ALAS-2013-160)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the pamenv module parsed users' '/.pamenvironment' files. If an application's PAM configuration contained 'userreadenv=1' this is not the default, a local attacker could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, escalate their...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.6.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-185)

Multiple flaws were discovered in the font layout engine in the 2D component. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to trigger Java Virtual Machine memory corruption. CVE-2013-1569 , CVE-2013-2383 , CVE-2013-2384 Multiple improper permission check issues were...

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 : kernel (ALAS-2012-83)

It was found that the datalen parameter of the sockallocsendpskb function in the Linux kernel's networking implementation was not validated before use. A local user with access to a TUN/TAP virtual interface could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges. Note...

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 ...
