Amazon Linux AMI : libtiff (ALAS-2014-365)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the t2preadwritepdfimage function in tools/tiff2pdf.c in libtiff 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash or possible execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image. The LZW decompressor in the gif2tiff tool in libtiff 4.0.3 and earlier...

Amazon Linux AMI : curl (ALAS-2014-407)

libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for TLDs, thus making them much broader then they are supposed to be allowed to. This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to a different and unrelated site or domain. By not detecting and rejecting domain names for partial...

Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2011-8)

Multiple input validation flaws were found in the way FreeType processed bitmap font files.
