Critical: kernel

Issue Overview: An issue was discovered in the XFS filesystem in fs/xfs/xfsicache.c in the Linux kernel. There is a NULL pointer dereference leading to a system panic in lookupslow on a NULL inode-iops pointer when doing pathwalks on a corrupted xfs image. This occurs because of a lack of proper...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2018-1046)

The fs/ext4/inline.c:ext4readinlinedata function in the Linux kernel performs a memcpy with an untrusted length value in certain circumstances involving a crafted filesystem that stores the system.data extended attribute value in a dedicated inode. The unbound copy can cause memory corruption or...

Amazon Linux AMI : ant (ALAS-2018-1047)

It was discovered that Ant's unzip and untar targets permit the extraction of files outside the target directory. A crafted zip or tar file submitted to an Ant build could create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running Ant.CVE-2018-10886 C Tenable Network Security, In...

Amazon Linux 2 : glibc (ALAS-2018-1048)

stdlib/canonicalize.c in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.27 and earlier, when processing very long pathname arguments to the realpath function, could encounter an integer overflow on 32-bit architectures, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow and, potentially, arbitrary code...

Amazon Linux 2 : libvirt (ALAS-2018-1049) (Spectre)

An incomplete fix for CVE-2018-5748 that affects QEMU monitor leading to a resource exhaustion but now also triggered via QEMU guest agent.CVE-2018-1064 qemu/qemumonitor.c in libvirt allows attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a large QEMU reply.CVE-2018-5748 An...

Amazon Linux 2 : kernel (ALAS-2018-1044)

A NULL pointer dereference issue was found in the Linux kernel. If the close and fchownat system calls share a socket file descriptor as an argument, then the two calls can race and trigger a NULL pointer dereference leading to a system crash and a denial of service.CVE-2018-12232 C Tenable Netwo...

Amazon Linux 2 : plexus-archiver (ALAS-2018-1043)

A path traversal vulnerability has been discovered in plexus-archiver when extracting a carefully crafted zip file which holds path traversal file names. A remote attacker could use this vulnerability to write files outside the target directory and overwrite existing files with malicious code or...

Amazon Linux 2 : openssh (ALAS-2018-1042)

The processopen function in sftp-server.c in OpenSSH before 7.6 does not properly prevent write operations in readonly mode, which allows attackers to create zero-length files.CVE-2017-15906 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted fro...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnupg / gnupg2 (ALAS-2018-1045)

A data validation flaw was found in the way gnupg processes file names during decryption and signature validation. An attacker may be able to inject messages into gnupg verbose message logging which may have the potential to bypass the integrity of signature authentication mechanisms and could ha...

Amazon Linux 2 : xmlrpc (ALAS-2018-1041)

A flaw was discovered in the Apache XML-RPC ws-xmlrpc library that deserializes untrusted data when enabledForExtensions setting is enabled. A remote attacker could use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in a ex:serializable element.CVE-2016-5003 C...

Amazon Linux 2 : xdg-user-dirs (ALAS-2018-1030)

It was found that the system umask policy is not being honored when creating XDG user directories /Desktop etc on first login. This could lead to user's files being inadvertently exposed to other local users.CVE-2017-15131 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks i...
