Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2012-39)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code wi...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2012-120)

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to stack-based buffer overflows, were found in glibc's functions for converting a string to a numeric representation strtod, strtof, and strtold. If an application used such a function on attacker controlled input, it could cause the application to crash o...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2012-57)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the implementation of the printf functions family. This could allow an attacker to bypass FORTIFYSOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code using a format string flaw in an application, even though these protections are expected to limit the impact of such...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2012-109)

Multiple errors in glibc's formatted printing functionality could allow an attacker to bypass FORTIFYSOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code using a format string flaw in an application, even though these protections are expected to limit the impact of such flaws to an application abort. C...

Updated xlockmore package fixes security vulnerability

xlockmore before 5.43 contains a security flaw related to potential NULL pointer dereferences when authenticating via glibc 2.17+'s crypt function. Under certain conditions the NULL pointers can trigger a crash in xlockmore effectively bypassing the screen lock CVE-2013-4143...

CVE-2013-4122

Cyrus SASL 2.1.23, 2.1.26, and earlier does not properly handle when a NULL value is returned upon an error by the crypt function as implemented in glibc 2.17 and later, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service thread crash and consumption via 1 an invalid salt or, when FIPS-140...
