Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2014-333)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : php55 (ALAS-2014-342)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : chkrootkit (ALAS-2014-370)

A quoting issue was found in chkrootkit which would lead to a file in /tmp/ being executed, if /tmp/ was mounted without the noexec option. chkrootkit is typically run as the root user. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : file (ALAS-2014-398)

Integer overflow in the cdfreadpropertyinfo function in cdf.c in file through 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash via a crafted CDF file. NOTE: this vulnerability exists becaus...

Amazon Linux AMI : cyrus-sasl (ALAS-2014-338)

Cyrus SASL 2.1.23, 2.1.26, and earlier does not properly handle when a NULL value is returned upon an error by the crypt function as implemented in glibc 2.17 and later, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service thread crash and consumption via 1 an invalid salt or, when FIPS-140...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnupg2 (ALAS-2014-379)

The douncompress function in g10/compress.c in GnuPG 1.x before 1.4.17 and 2.x before 2.0.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service infinite loop via malformed compressed packets, as demonstrated by an a3 01 5b ff byte sequence. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : php55 (ALAS-2014-415)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the File Information fileinfo extension parsed certain Composite Document Format CDF files. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash a PHP application using fileinfo via a specially crafted CDF file. gdctx.c in the GD component in PHP 5.4.x befo...

Amazon Linux AMI : exim (ALAS-2014-395)

expand.c in Exim before 4.83 expands mathematical comparisons twice, which allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary commands via a crafted lookup value. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI...

Amazon Linux AMI : json-c (ALAS-2014-416)

The hash functionality in json-c before 0.12 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via crafted JSON data, involving collisions. Buffer overflow in the printbuf APIs in json-c before 0.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified...

Amazon Linux AMI : ca-certificates (ALAS-2011-3)

This package contains the set of CA certificates chosen by the Mozilla Foundation for use with the Internet Public Key Infrastructure PKI. It was found that a Certificate Authority CA issued fraudulent HTTPS certificates. This update removes that CA's root certificate from the ca-certificates...

Amazon Linux AMI : tomcat6 (ALAS-2014-344)

It was found that when Tomcat processed a series of HTTP requests in which at least one request contained either multiple content-length headers, or one content-length header with a chunked transfer-encoding header, Tomcat would incorrectly handle the request. A remote attacker could use this fla...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2014-340)

parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.0, as used in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service out-of-bounds read via a document that ends abruptly, related to the lack of certain checks for the XMLPARSEREOF state. C Tenable Network Securit...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2014-400)

A directory traversal flaw was found in the way glibc loaded locale files. An attacker able to make an application use a specially crafted locale name value for example, specified in an LC environment variable could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that...

Amazon Linux AMI : fwsnort (ALAS-2014-409)

Untrusted search path vulnerability in fwsnort before 1.6.4, when not running as root, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse fwsnort.conf in the current working directory. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were...

Amazon Linux AMI : libXext (ALAS-2014-403)

Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXext 1.3.1 and earlier allow X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the 1 XcupGetReservedColormapEntries, 2 XcupStoreColors, 3 XdbeGetVisualInfo, 4 XeviGetVisualInfo, 5 XShapeGetRectangles, and 6...
