Amazon Linux AMI : libtasn1 (ALAS-2012-60)

A flaw was found in the way libtasn1 decoded DER data. An attacker could create carefully-crafted DER encoded input such as an X.509 certificate that, when parsed by an application that uses libtasn1 such as applications using GnuTLS, could cause the application to crash. CVE-2012-1569 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : munin (ALAS-2012-130)

Munin before 2.0.6 stores plugin state files that run as root in the same group-writable directory as non-root plugins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by replacing a state file, as demonstrated using the smart plugin. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and...

Amazon Linux AMI : bind (ALAS-2012-113)

An uninitialized data structure use flaw was found in BIND when DNSSEC validation was enabled. A remote attacker able to send a large number of queries to a DNSSEC validating BIND resolver could use this flaw to cause it to exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure. CVE-2012-3817 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : krb5 (ALAS-2013-208)

It was found that kadmind's kpasswd service did not perform any validation on incoming network packets, causing it to reply to all requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send spoofed packets to a kpasswd service that appear to come from kadmind on a different server, causing the...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnutls (ALAS-2013-197)

It was discovered that the fix for the CVE-2013-1619 issue introduced a regression in the way GnuTLS decrypted TLS/SSL encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to crash a server or client application that uses GnuTLS. CVE-2013-2116 C...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel / nvidia (ALAS-2013-154)

The xenfailsafecallback function in Xen for the Linux kernel 2.6.23 and other versions, when running a 32-bit PVOPS guest, allows local users to cause a denial of service guest crash by triggering an iret fault, leading to use of an incorrect stack pointer and stack corruption. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-58)

The ExecShield feature does not properly handle use of many shared libraries by a 32-bit executable file, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by leveraging a predictable base address for one of these libraries. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : php-ZendFramework (ALAS-2013-153)

The 1 ZendFeedRss and 2 ZendFeedAtom classes in ZendFeed in Zend Framework 1.11.x before 1.11.15 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, send HTTP requests to intranet servers, and possibly cause a denial of service CPU and memory consumption via an XML External...

Amazon Linux AMI : openjpeg (ALAS-2012-125)

It was found that OpenJPEG failed to sanity-check an image header field before using it. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted image file that could cause an application linked against OpenJPEG to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. CVE-2012-3535 C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql55 (ALAS-2013-187)

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found in the References section. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory ALAS-2013-18...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2012-39)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code wi...

Amazon Linux AMI : php-pecl-apc (ALAS-2012-96)

A cross-site scripting XSS flaw was found in the 'apc.php' script, which provides a detailed analysis of the internal workings of APC and is shipped as part of the APC extension documentation. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct a cross-site scripting attack. CVE-2010-3294 C...

Amazon Linux AMI : rpm (ALAS-2011-14)

Multiple flaws were found in the way the RPM library parsed package headers. An attacker could create a specially crafted RPM package that, when queried or installed, would cause rpm to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. CVE-2011-3378 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive...

Amazon Linux AMI : gdb (ALAS-2013-159)

GDB tried to auto-load certain files such as GDB scripts, Python scripts, and a thread debugging library from the current working directory when debugging programs. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code with the user's privileges when GDB was run in a directory that has untrusted...

Amazon Linux AMI : rubygems (ALAS-2012-79)

RubyGems before 1.8.23 can redirect HTTPS connections to HTTP, which makes it easier for remote attackers to observe or modify a gem during installation via a man-in-the-middle attack.
