Amazon Linux AMI : mod_wsgi (ALAS-2014-376)

It was found that modwsgi did not properly drop privileges if the call to setuid failed. If modwsgi was set up to allow unprivileged users to run WSGI applications, a local user able to run a WSGI application could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. Note: modwsgi i...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssl (ALAS-2014-391)

A flaw was discovered in the way OpenSSL handled DTLS packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a DTLS server or client using OpenSSL to crash or use excessive amounts of memory. Multiple buffer overflows in crypto/srp/srplib.c in the SRP implementation in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1...

Amazon Linux AMI : dovecot (ALAS-2014-386)

Dovecot 1.1 before 2.2.13 and dovecot-ee before 2.1.7.7 and 2.2.x before 2.2.12.12 does not properly close old connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service resource consumption via an incomplete SSL/TLS handshake for an IMAP/POP3 connection. C Tenable Network Security,...

The ip6routeadd function in net/ipv6/route.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not properly count the addition of routes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a flood of ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets. drivers/vhost/net.c in the Linux kernel...

Amazon Linux AMI : wireshark (ALAS-2014-330)

Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. CVE-2014-2281 , CVE-2014-2299 Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshar...

Amazon Linux AMI : php54 (ALAS-2014-361)

The cdfunpacksummaryinfo function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.29 and 5.5.x before 5.5.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service performance degradation by triggering many fileprintf calls. The cdfreadpropertyinfo function in cdf.c in the Fileinfo component i...

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 : 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 : pam (ALAS-2014-354)

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in pamtimestamp.c in the pamtimestamp module for Linux-PAM aka pam 1.1.8 allow local users to create aribitrary files or possibly bypass authentication via a .. dot dot in the 1 PAMRUSER value to the getruser function or 2 PAMTTY value to the checktty...

Amazon Linux AMI : httpd24 (ALAS-2014-389)

A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in the modstatus httpd module. A remote attacker able to access a status page served by modstatus on a server using a threaded Multi-Processing Module MPM could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd chi...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2014-340)

parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.0, as used in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service out-of-bounds read via a document that ends abruptly, related to the lack of certain checks for the XMLPARSEREOF state. C Tenable Network Securit...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2014-368)

arch/x86/kernel/entry32.S in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 on 32-bit x86 platforms, when syscall auditing is enabled and the sep CPU feature flag is set, allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS and system crash via an invalid syscall number, as demonstrated by number 1000. Array...

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 : fwsnort (ALAS-2014-409)

Untrusted search path vulnerability in fwsnort before 1.6.4, when not running as root, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse fwsnort.conf in the current working directory. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were...

Amazon Linux AMI : mod24_wsgi (ALAS-2014-375)

It was found that modwsgi did not properly drop privileges if the call to setuid failed. If modwsgi was set up to allow unprivileged users to run WSGI applications, a local user able to run a WSGI application could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. Note: modwsgi i...

Amazon Linux AMI : kernel (ALAS-2014-417)

fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16.1 does not properly restrict clearing MNTNODEV, MNTNOSUID, and MNTNOEXEC and changing MNTATIMEMASK during a remount of a bind mount, which allows local users to gain privileges, interfere with backups and auditing on systems that had atime enabled, ...

Amazon Linux AMI : cacti (ALAS-2014-347)

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...
