Amazon Linux AMI : realmd (ALAS-2016-636)

A flaw was found in the way realmd parsed certain input when writing configuration into the sssd.conf or smb.conf file. A remote attacker could use this flaw to inject arbitrary configurations into these files via a newline character in an LDAP response. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : php56 / php55 (ALAS-2016-640)

The imagerotate function lacked validation of the background color variable, an integer which represents an index of the color palette.

CVE-2015-8704 CVE-2015-8705 was also issued today for bind, but the Amazon Linux AMI's version of bind is not impacted by that CVE. Affected...

Amazon Linux AMI : libldb (ALAS-2016-633)

A denial of service flaw was found in the ldbwildcardcompare function of libldb. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet that, when processed by an application using libldb for example the AD LDAP server in Samba, would cause that application to consume an excessive amount of memo...

Amazon Linux AMI : sssd (ALAS-2016-635)

It was found that SSSD's Privilege Attribute Certificate PAC responder plug-in would leak a small amount of memory on each authentication request. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on the system by making repeated requests to a Kerberized daemon...

Amazon Linux AMI : bind (ALAS-2015-631)

An error in the parsing of incoming responses allows some records with an incorrect class to be be accepted by BIND instead of being rejected as malformed. This can trigger a REQUIRE assertion failure when those records are subsequently cached. Intentional exploitation of this condition is possib...

Amazon Linux AMI : python-pygments (ALAS-2015-630)

An unsafe use of string concatenation in a shell string occurs in FontManager. If the developer allows the attacker to choose the font and outputs an image, the attacker can execute any shell command on the remote system. The name variable injected comes from the constructor of FontManager, which...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl-IPTables-Parse (ALAS-2015-627)

A vulnerability in perl-IPTables-Parse was found, when using predictable file names for its temporary files. This vulnerability allows attacker on a multi-user system to set up symlinks to overwrite any file the current user has write access to. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive te...

Amazon Linux AMI : tigervnc (ALAS-2015-623)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way TigerVNC handled screen sizes. A malicious VNC server could use this flaw to cause a client to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the client. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in TigerVNC...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssh (ALAS-2015-625)

A flaw was found in the way OpenSSH handled PAM authentication when using privilege separation. An attacker with valid credentials on the system and able to fully compromise a non-privileged pre-authentication process using a different flaw could use this flaw to authenticate as other users. It w...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2015-628)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the libxml2 library parsed certain XML files. An attacker could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when parsed by an application using libxml2, could cause that application to use an excessive amount of memory.
