Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-78)

The rioioctl function in drivers/net/ethernet/dlink/dl2k.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3.7 does not restrict access to the SIOCSMIIREG command, which allows local users to write data to an Ethernet adapter via an ioctl call. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package check...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2012-95)

Integer overflow in the pharparsetarfile function in tar.c in the phar extension in PHP before 5.3.14 and 5.4.x before 5.4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted tar file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow...

Amazon Linux AMI : dbus (ALAS-2012-128)

It was discovered that the D-Bus library honored environment settings even when running with elevated privileges. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges, by setting specific environment variables before running a setuid or setgid application linked against the...

Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2013-212)

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-2012-139)

Ruby 1.8.7 before patchlevel 371, 1.9.3 before patchlevel 286, and 2.0 before revision r37068 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe-level restrictions and modify untainted strings via the nameerrmesgtostr API function, which marks the string as tainted, a different vulnerability than...

Amazon Linux AMI : tomcat6 (ALAS-2013-196)

The 1 tomcat5, 2 tomcat6, and 3 tomcat7 init scripts, as used in the RPM distribution of Tomcat for JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.2 and 2.0.0, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, allow local users to change the ownership of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a tomcat5-initd.log, b...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql (ALAS-2012-44)

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found on the Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory page, listed in the References section. CVE-2011-2262 , CVE-2012-0075 , CVE-2012-0087 , CVE-2012-0101 , CVE-2012-0102 , CVE-2012-0112 ,...

Amazon Linux AMI : libpng (ALAS-2012-68)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libpng processed tEXt chunks in PNG image files. An attacker could create a specially crafted PNG image file that, when opened, could cause an application using libpng to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-118)

The rdsrecvmsg function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel before 3.0.44 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a 1 recvfrom or 2 recvmsg system call on an RDS socket. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : puppet (ALAS-2011-11)

Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x, when running in --edit mode, uses a predictable file name, which allows local users to run arbitrary Puppet code or trick a user into editing arbitrary files. Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x allows local users ...

Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2012-66)

Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled fonts in various formats. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnutls (ALAS-2012-59)

A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS decrypted malformed TLS records. This could cause a TLS/SSL client or server to crash when processing a specially crafted TLS record from a remote TLS/SSL connection peer. CVE-2012-1573 A boundary error was found in the gnutlssessiongetdata function. A malicious...
