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 2 : 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...

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 : 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 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...
