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. The xmlParseConditionalSections...

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 : xfsprogs (ALAS-2015-622)

It was discovered that the xfsmetadump tool of the xfsprogs suite did not fully adhere to the standards of obfuscation described in its man page. In case a user with the necessary privileges used xfsmetadump and relied on the advertised obfuscation, the generated data could contain unexpected...

Amazon Linux AMI : binutils (ALAS-2015-620)

A directory traversal flaw was found in the strip and objcopy utilities. A specially crafted file could cause strip or objdump to overwrite an arbitrary file writable by the user running either of these utilities. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way various binutils utilities processed...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql8 (ALAS-2015-619)

A memory leak error was discovered in the crypt function of the pgCrypto extension. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this flaw to disclose a limited amount of the server memory.
