Amazon Linux AMI : httpd (ALAS-2013-174)

Multiple cross-site scripting XSS vulnerabilities in the balancerhandler function in the manager interface in modproxybalancer.c in the modproxybalancer module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x before 2.2.24-dev and 2.4.x before 2.4.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML vi...

Amazon Linux AMI : libexif (ALAS-2012-126)

Multiple flaws were found in the way libexif processed Exif tags. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when opened in an application linked against libexif, could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user runnin...

Amazon Linux AMI : pam (ALAS-2013-160)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the pamenv module parsed users' '/.pamenvironment' files. If an application's PAM configuration contained 'userreadenv=1' this is not the default, a local attacker could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, escalate their...

Amazon Linux AMI : sudo (ALAS-2012-110)

A flaw was found in the way the network matching code in sudo handled multiple IP networks listed in user specification configuration directives. A user, who is authorized to run commands with sudo on specific hosts, could use this flaw to bypass intended restrictions and run those commands on...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.6.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-185)

Multiple flaws were discovered in the font layout engine in the 2D component. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to trigger Java Virtual Machine memory corruption. CVE-2013-1569 , CVE-2013-2383 , CVE-2013-2384 Multiple improper permission check issues were...

Amazon Linux AMI : libpng (ALAS-2012-49)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in libpng. An attacker could create a specially crafted PNG image that, when opened, could cause an application using libpng to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. CVE-2011-3026 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql9 (ALAS-2012-121)

The libxslt support in contrib/xml2 in PostgreSQL 8.3 before 8.3.20, 8.4 before 8.4.13, 9.0 before 9.0.9, and 9.1 before 9.1.5 does not properly restrict access to files and URLs, which allows remote authenticated users to modify data, obtain sensitive information, or trigger outbound traffic to...

Amazon Linux AMI : ruby (ALAS-2013-173)

It was discovered that Ruby's REXML library did not properly restrict XML entity expansion. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by tricking a Ruby application using REXML to read text nodes from specially crafted XML content, which will result in REXML consuming large...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-34)

The Linux kernel before 3.2.2 does not properly restrict SGIO ioctl calls, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on disk read and write operations by sending a SCSI command to 1 a partition block device or 2 an LVM volume. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text a...

Amazon Linux AMI : quagga (ALAS-2012-90)

The bgpcapabilityorf function in bgpd in Quagga 0.99.20.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service assertion failure and daemon exit by leveraging a BGP peering relationship and sending a malformed Outbound Route Filtering ORF capability TLV in an OPEN message. C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : ghostscript (ALAS-2012-127)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in Ghostscript's International Color Consortium Format library icclib. An attacker could create a specially crafted PostScript or PDF file with embedded images that would cause Ghostscript to crash or, potentially, execu...

Amazon Linux AMI : openswan (ALAS-2011-06)

When an ISAKMP message with an invalid KEYLENGTH attribute is received, the error handling function crashes on a NULL pointer dereference. Openswan automatically restarts the pluto IKE daemon but all ISAKMP state is lost. This vulnerability does NOT allow an attacker access to the system. This ca...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2012-52)

It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially crafted message to an XML service could result in longer processing time, which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue, randomization has been added ...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql55 (ALAS-2012-93)

sql/password.c in Oracle MySQL 5.1.x before 5.1.63, 5.5.x before 5.5.24, and 5.6.x before 5.6.6, and MariaDB 5.1.x before 5.1.62, 5.2.x before 5.2.12, 5.3.x before 5.3.6, and 5.5.x before 5.5.23, when running in certain environments with certain implementations of the memcmp function, allows remo...

Amazon Linux AMI : dnsmasq (ALAS-2013-161)
