Amazon Linux AMI : php (ALAS-2012-37)

It was found that the hashing routine used by PHP arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. If an HTTP POST request to a PHP application contained many parameters whose names map to the same hash value, a large amount of CPU time would be consumed. This flaw has been mitigated by...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.6.0-openjdk (ALAS-2012-119)

It was discovered that the Beans component in OpenJDK did not perform permission checks properly. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to use classes from restricted packages, allowing it to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. CVE-2012-1682 A hardening fix was applied to the...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl (ALAS-2013-171)

It was discovered that OpenSSL leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from the encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as a paddi...

Amazon Linux AMI : mesa (ALAS-2013-198)

An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in Mesa. If an application using Mesa exposed the Mesa API to untrusted inputs Mozilla Firefox does this, an attacker could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-133)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the i915gemdoexecbuffer function in the Intel i915 driver in the Linux kernel. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected 32-bit systems. CVE-2012-2384 , Moderate A memory leak flaw was found in the w...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-118)

The rdsrecvmsg function in net/rds/recv.c in the Linux kernel before 3.0.44 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a 1 recvfrom or 2 recvmsg system call on an RDS socket. C Tenable Network...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-78)

The rioioctl function in drivers/net/ethernet/dlink/dl2k.c in the Linux kernel before 3.3.7 does not restrict access to the SIOCSMIIREG command, which allows local users to write data to an Ethernet adapter via an ioctl call. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package check...

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...

Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 and 2.7.x before 2.7.13, and Puppet Enterprise PE Users 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, and 2.5.x before 2.5.1 allows remote authenticated users with an authorized SSL key and certain permissions on the puppet master to read arbitrary files via a symlink attack in conjunction...

Amazon Linux AMI : iproute (ALAS-2012-64)

iproute2 before 3.3.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file used by 1 configure or 2 examples/dhcp-client-script. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI Securit...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2012-58)

The ExecShield feature does not properly handle use of many shared libraries by a 32-bit executable file, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by leveraging a predictable base address for one of these libraries. C Tenable Network Security,...

Amazon Linux AMI : puppet (ALAS-2011-11)

Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.6.x before 2.6.11, and 0.25.x, when running in --edit mode, uses a predictable file name, which allows local users to run arbitrary Puppet code or trick a user into editing arbitrary files.
