Amazon Linux AMI : ruby (ALAS-2013-248)

Heap-based buffer overflow in Ruby 1.8, 1.9 before 1.9.3-p484, 2.0 before 2.0.0-p353, 2.1 before 2.1.0 preview2, and trunk before revision 43780 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service segmentation fault and possibly execute arbitrary code via a string that is converted to...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnupg2 (ALAS-2013-237)

GnuPG 1.4.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x treats a key flags subpacket with all bits cleared no usage permitted as if it has all bits set all usage permitted, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging the subkey. The compressed packet parser in...

Amazon Linux AMI : xorg-x11-server (ALAS-2013-234)

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the X.Org server handled ImageText requests. A malicious, authorized client could use this flaw to crash the X.Org server or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges. CVE-2013-4396 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text an...

Amazon Linux AMI : python26 (ALAS-2013-241)

It was discovered that multiple Python standard library modules implementing network protocols such as httplib or smtplib failed to restrict sizes of server responses. A malicious server could cause a client using one of the affected modules to consume an excessive amount of memory. CVE-2013-1752...

Amazon Linux AMI : mod_fcgid (ALAS-2013-238)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the fcgidheaderbucketread function in fcgidbucket.c in the modfcgid module before 2.3.9 for the Apache HTTP Server allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via unknown vectors. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql51 (ALAS-2013-240)

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.70 and earlier, 5.5.32 and earlier, and 5.6.12 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Optimizer. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and packa...

Amazon Linux AMI : python-crypto (ALAS-2013-243)

The Crypto.Random.atfork function in PyCrypto before 2.6.1 does not properly reseed the pseudo-random number generator PRNG before allowing a child process to access it, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging a race condition in which a...

Amazon Linux AMI : mod24_fcgid (ALAS-2013-239)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the fcgidheaderbucketread function in fcgidbucket.c in the modfcgid module before 2.3.9 for the Apache HTTP Server allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via unknown vectors. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnupg (ALAS-2013-236)

GnuPG 1.4.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x treats a key flags subpacket with all bits cleared no usage permitted as if it has all bits set all usage permitted, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging the subkey. The compressed packet parser in...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql8 (ALAS-2013-244)

An array index error, leading to a heap-based out-of-bounds buffer read flaw, was found in the way PostgreSQL performed certain error processing using enumeration types. An unprivileged database user could issue a specially crafted SQL query that, when processed by the server component of the...

Amazon Linux AMI : gc (ALAS-2013-245)

It was discovered that gc's implementation of the malloc and calloc routines did not properly perform parameter sanitization when allocating memory. If an application using gc did not implement application-level validity checks for the malloc and calloc routines, a remote attacker could provide...
