Amazon Linux 2 : openssl (ALAS-2018-1102)

During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DHE based ciphersuite a malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This...

Amazon Linux 2 : mod_http2 (ALAS-2018-1104)

In Apache HTTP Server, by sending continuous, large SETTINGS frames a client can occupy a connection, server thread and CPU time without any connection timeout coming to effect. This affects only HTTP/2 connections. A possible mitigation is to not enable the h2 protocol.CVE-2018-11763 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux 2 : kernel (ALAS-2018-1100)

An issue was discovered in the procpidstack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel. An attacker with a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only root to inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task.CVE-2018-17972 A...

Amazon Linux 2 : flatpak (ALAS-2018-1096)

It was found that flatpak's D-Bus proxy did not properly filter the access to D-Bus during the authentication protocol. A specially crafted flatpak application could use this flaw to bypass all restrictions imposed by flatpak and have full access to the D-BUS interface.CVE-2018-6560 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux 2 : nss (ALAS-2018-1095)

A flaw was found in the way NSS responded to an SSLv2-compatible ClientHello with a ServerHello that had an all-zero random.
