Amazon Linux AMI : openssh (ALAS-2016-638)

An information leak flaw was found in the way the OpenSSH client roaming feature was implemented. A malicious server could potentially use this flaw to leak portions of memory possibly including private SSH keys of a successfully authenticated OpenSSH client. A buffer overflow flaw was found in t...

Amazon Linux AMI : grep (ALAS-2016-639)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way grep processed certain pattern and text combinations. An attacker able to trick a user into running grep on specially crafted input could use this flaw to crash grep or, potentially, read from uninitialized memory. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : realmd (ALAS-2016-636)

A flaw was found in the way realmd parsed certain input when writing configuration into the sssd.conf or smb.conf file. A remote attacker could use this flaw to inject arbitrary configurations into these files via a newline character in an LDAP response. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : dhcp (ALAS-2016-637)

ISC DHCP 4.x before 4.1-ESV-R12-P1 and 4.2.x and 4.3.x before 4.3.3-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash via an invalid length field in a UDP IPv4 packet. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted fr...

Amazon Linux AMI : python-pygments (ALAS-2015-630)

An unsafe use of string concatenation in a shell string occurs in FontManager. If the developer allows the attacker to choose the font and outputs an image, the attacker can execute any shell command on the remote system. The name variable injected comes from the constructor of FontManager, which...

Amazon Linux AMI : bind (ALAS-2015-631)

An error in the parsing of incoming responses allows some records with an incorrect class to be be accepted by BIND instead of being rejected as malformed. This can trigger a REQUIRE assertion failure when those records are subsequently cached. Intentional exploitation of this condition is possib...

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. CVE-2015-5288 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were...

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 : 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 : krb5 (ALAS-2015-624)

A flaw was found in the OTP kdcpreauth module of MIT Kerberos. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the requirespreauth flag on a client principal and obtain a ciphertext encrypted in the principal's long-term key. This ciphertext could be used to conduct an off-line dictionary attack...

Amazon Linux AMI : apache-commons-collections (ALAS-2015-618)

It was found that the Apache commons-collections library permitted code execution when deserializing objects involving a specially constructed chain of classes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using the commons-collections...

Amazon Linux AMI : autofs (ALAS-2015-626)

It was found that program-based automounter maps that used interpreted languages such as Python would use standard environment variables to locate and load modules of those languages. A local attacker could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2015-617)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way glibc's gethostbynamer and other related functions computed the size of a buffer when passed a misaligned buffer as input. An attacker able to make an application call any of these functions with a misaligned buffer could use this flaw to crash the...

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...
