Amazon Linux AMI : python27 (ALAS-2012-81)

SimpleXMLRPCServer.py in SimpleXMLRPCServer in Python before 2.6.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.3, 3.x before 3.1.5, and 3.2.x before 3.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service infinite loop and CPU consumption via an XML-RPC POST request that contains a smaller amount of data than specified...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2011-22)

The epoll implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.37.2 and earlier does not properly traverse a tree of epoll file descriptors, which allows local users to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted application that makes epollcreate and epollctl system calls. Buffer overflow in the...

Amazon Linux AMI : ruby (ALAS-2012-35)

Ruby aka CRuby before 1.8.7-p357 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel / nvidia (ALAS-2013-154)

The xenfailsafecallback function in Xen for the Linux kernel 2.6.23 and other versions, when running a 32-bit PVOPS guest, allows local users to cause a denial of service guest crash by triggering an iret fault, leading to use of an incorrect stack pointer and stack corruption. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2011-20)

Multiple input validation flaws were found in the way FreeType processed CID-keyed fonts. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql55 (ALAS-2012-144)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the user permission checking code in MySQL. An authenticated database user could use this flaw to crash the mysqld daemon or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the mysqld daemon. CVE-2012-5611 C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : cyrus-imapd (ALAS-2011-27)

An authentication bypass flaw was found in the cyrus-imapd NNTP server, nntpd. A remote user able to use the nntpd service could use this flaw to read or post newsgroup messages on an NNTP server configured to require user authentication, without providing valid authentication credentials...

Amazon Linux AMI : nginx (ALAS-2012-74)

Buffer overflow in ngxhttpmp4module.c in the ngxhttpmp4module module in nginx 1.0.7 through 1.0.14 and 1.1.3 through 1.1.18, when the mp4 directive is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory overwrite or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted MP4 file. C Tenable...

Amazon Linux AMI : bind (ALAS-2011-24)

A flaw was discovered in the way BIND handled certain DNS queries, which caused it to cache an invalid record. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send repeated queries for this invalid record, causing the resolvers to exit unexpectedly due to a failed assertion. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : puppet (ALAS-2012-135)

Directory traversal vulnerability in lib/puppet/reports/store.rb in Puppet before 2.6.17 and 2.7.x before 2.7.18, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.5.2, when Delete is enabled in auth.conf, allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files on the puppet master server via a .. dot dot in a...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnutls (ALAS-2012-59)

A flaw was found in the way GnuTLS decrypted malformed TLS records. This could cause a TLS/SSL client or server to crash when processing a specially crafted TLS record from a remote TLS/SSL connection peer. CVE-2012-1573 A boundary error was found in the gnutlssessiongetdata function. A malicious...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssh (ALAS-2013-165)

Due to the way the pamsshagentauth PAM module was built, the glibc's error function was called rather than the intended error function in pamsshagentauth to report errors. As these two functions expect different arguments, it was possible for an attacker to cause an application using...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2011-16)

The skbgroheaderslow function in include/linux/netdevice.h in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39.4, when Generic Receive Offload GRO is enabled, resets certain fields in incorrect situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service system crash via crafted network traffic. Race...

Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2013-150)

A flaw was found in the way the FreeType font rendering engine processed certain Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format BDF fonts. If a user loaded a specially crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code wit...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl-FCGI (ALAS-2011-05)

The MITRE CVE database describes CVE-2011-2766 as : The FCGI aka Fast CGI module 0.70 through 0.73 for Perl, as used by CGI::Fast, uses environment variable values from one request during processing of a later request, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via crafted HTTP header...

Amazon Linux AMI : fail2ban (ALAS-2013-209)

The apache-auth.conf, apache-nohome.conf, apache-noscript.conf, and apache-overflows.conf files in Fail2ban before 0.8.10 do not properly validate log messages, which allows remote attackers to block arbitrary IP addresses via certain messages in a request. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : systemtap (ALAS-2012-54)

An invalid pointer read flaw was found in the way SystemTap handled malformed debugging information in DWARF format. When SystemTap unprivileged mode was enabled, an unprivileged user in the stapusr group could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, read arbitrary kernel memory...

Amazon Linux AMI : openvpn (ALAS-2013-201)

The openvpndecrypt function in crypto.c in OpenVPN 2.3.0 and earlier, when running in UDP mode, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a timing attack involving an HMAC comparison function that does not run in constant time and a padding oracle attack on the CBC mode cipher. ...

Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2013-211)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PHP parsed deeply nested XML documents. If a PHP application used the xmlparseintostruct function to parse untrusted XML content, an attacker able to supply specially crafted XML could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, execute arbitra...
