A heap-based buffer underflow flaw was found in the way libxml2 decoded certain entities. 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 arbitrary code with the...

Amazon Linux AMI : php-pecl-apc (ALAS-2012-96)

A cross-site scripting XSS flaw was found in the 'apc.php' script, which provides a detailed analysis of the internal workings of APC and is shipped as part of the APC extension documentation. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct a cross-site scripting attack. CVE-2010-3294 C...

Amazon Linux AMI : python26 (ALAS-2012-80)

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 : httpd24 (ALAS-2013-194)

Cross-site scripting XSS flaws were found in the modproxybalancer module's manager web interface. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the manager web interface, into visiting a specially crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the...

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 : kernel (ALAS-2012-58)

The ExecShield feature does not properly handle use of many shared libraries by a 32-bit executable file, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by leveraging a predictable base address for one of these libraries. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel / nvidia (ALAS-2013-148)

A malicious Network File System version 4 NFSv4 server could return a crafted reply to a GETACL request, causing a denial of service on the client.

Amazon Linux AMI : python26 (ALAS-2012-98)

A denial of service flaw was found in the implementation of associative arrays dictionaries in Python. An attacker able to supply a large number of inputs to a Python application such as HTTP POST request parameters sent to a web application that are used as keys when inserting data into an array...

Amazon Linux AMI : axis (ALAS-2013-164)

Apache Axis 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 any domain name. CVE-2012-57...

Amazon Linux AMI : tomcat7 (ALAS-2013-191)

java/org/apache/catalina/core/AsyncContextImpl.java in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.40 does not properly handle the throwing of a RuntimeException in an AsyncListener in an application, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive request information intended for other application...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql9 (ALAS-2012-91)

The cryptdes aka DES-based crypt function in FreeBSD before 9.0-RELEASE-p2, as used in PHP, PostgreSQL, and other products, does not process the complete cleartext password if this password contains a 0x80 character, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain access via an...
