Cross-site request forgery CSRF vulnerability in Cacti 0.8.7g, 0.8.8b, and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for unspecified commands, as demonstrated by requests that 1 modify binary files, 2 modify configurations, or 3 add arbitrary users. Cross-site scriptin...

Amazon Linux AMI : libtasn1 (ALAS-2014-359)

It was discovered that the asn1getbitder function of the libtasn1 library incorrectly reported the length of ASN.1-encoded data. Specially crafted ASN.1 input could cause an application using libtasn1 to perform an out-of-bounds access operation, causing the application to crash or, possibly,...

Amazon Linux AMI : php55 (ALAS-2014-342)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl-FCGI (ALAS-2011-5)

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 headers. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxcb (ALAS-2014-405)

Integer overflow in X.org libxcb 1.9 and earlier allows X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the readpacket function. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon...

Amazon Linux AMI : json-c (ALAS-2014-416)

The hash functionality in json-c before 0.12 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via crafted JSON data, involving collisions. Buffer overflow in the printbuf APIs in json-c before 0.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified...

Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2014-333)

The BEGIN regular expression in the awk script detector in magic/Magdir/commands in file before 5.15 uses multiple wildcards with unlimited repetitions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via a crafted ASCII file that triggers a large amount of...

Amazon Linux AMI : chkrootkit (ALAS-2014-370)

A quoting issue was found in chkrootkit which would lead to a file in /tmp/ being executed, if /tmp/ was mounted without the noexec option. chkrootkit is typically run as the root user. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The...

Amazon Linux AMI : squid (ALAS-2014-411)

A flaw was found in the way Squid handled malformed HTTP Range headers. A remote attacker able to send HTTP requests to the Squid proxy could use this flaw to crash Squid.

Amazon Linux AMI : python-jinja2 (ALAS-2014-371)

The default configuration for bccache.FileSystemBytecodeCache in Jinja2 before 2.7.2 does not properly create temporary files, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted .cache file with a name starting with jinja2 in /tmp. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and...

Amazon Linux AMI : cyrus-sasl (ALAS-2014-338)

Cyrus SASL 2.1.23, 2.1.26, and earlier does not properly handle when a NULL value is returned upon an error by the crypt function as implemented in glibc 2.17 and later, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service thread crash and consumption via 1 an invalid salt or, when FIPS-140...

Amazon Linux AMI : file (ALAS-2014-398)

Integer overflow in the cdfreadpropertyinfo function in cdf.c in file through 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service application crash via a crafted CDF file.
