Amazon Linux AMI : krb5 (ALAS-2015-624)

A flaw was found in the OTP kdcpreauth module of MIT Kerberos. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the requirespreauth flag on a client principal and obtain a ciphertext encrypted in the principal's long-term key. This ciphertext could be used to conduct an off-line dictionary attack...

Amazon Linux AMI : binutils (ALAS-2015-620)

A directory traversal flaw was found in the strip and objcopy utilities. A specially crafted file could cause strip or objdump to overwrite an arbitrary file writable by the user running either of these utilities. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way various binutils utilities processed...

Amazon Linux AMI : autofs (ALAS-2015-626)

It was found that program-based automounter maps that used interpreted languages such as Python would use standard environment variables to locate and load modules of those languages. A local attacker could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : git (ALAS-2015-613)

A flaw was found in the way the git-remote-ext helper processed certain URLs. If a user had Git configured to automatically clone submodules from untrusted repositories, an attacker could inject commands into the URL of a submodule, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the user's system. C...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql8 (ALAS-2015-619)

A memory leak error was discovered in the crypt function of the pgCrypto extension. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose a limited amount of the server memory. CVE-2015-5288 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were...

Amazon Linux AMI : libpng (ALAS-2015-611)

Multiple buffer overflows in the pngsetPLTE and pnggetPLTE functions in libpng before 1.0.64, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.54, 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.17, 1.5.x before 1.5.24, and 1.6.x before 1.6.19, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash or possibly have...

Amazon Linux AMI : nspr / nss-util,nss,jss (ALAS-2015-608)

Network Security Services NSS is a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Netscape Portable Runtime NSPR provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. A use-after-poison flaw and a heap-based...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql92 / postgresql93,postgresql94 (ALAS-2015-609)

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in json parsing in PostgreSQL before 9.3.x before 9.3.10 and 9.4.x before 9.4.5 allow attackers to cause a denial of service server crash via unspecified vectors, which are not properly handled in 1 json or 2 jsonb values. CVE-2015-5289 The crypt function in...

Amazon Linux AMI : ntp (ALAS-2015-607)

It was discovered that ntpd as a client did not correctly check timestamps in Kiss-of-Death packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted Kiss-of-Death packet to an ntpd client that would increase the client's polling interval value, and effectively disable synchronization with...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2015-603)

A race condition in the IPC object implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.2.3 allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an ipcaddid call that leads to uid and gid comparisons against uninitialized data, related to msg.c, shm.c, and util.c.
