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 : axis (ALAS-2013-164)

Apache Axis did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name CN or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name. CVE-2012-57...

Amazon Linux AMI : python26 (ALAS-2012-98)

A denial of service flaw was found in the implementation of associative arrays dictionaries in Python. An attacker able to supply a large number of inputs to a Python application such as HTTP POST request parameters sent to a web application that are used as keys when inserting data into an array...

Amazon Linux AMI : busybox (ALAS-2012-103)

A buffer underflow flaw was found in the way the uncompress utility of BusyBox expanded certain archive files compressed using Lempel-Ziv compression. If a user were tricked into expanding a specially crafted archive file with uncompress, it could cause BusyBox to crash or, potentially, execute...

Amazon Linux AMI : tomcat7 (ALAS-2013-191)

java/org/apache/catalina/core/AsyncContextImpl.java in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.40 does not properly handle the throwing of a RuntimeException in an AsyncListener in an application, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive request information intended for other application...

Amazon Linux AMI : rpm (ALAS-2012-61)

Multiple flaws were found in the way RPM parsed package file headers. An attacker could create a specially crafted RPM package that, when its package header was accessed, or during package signature verification, could cause an application using the RPM library such as the rpm command line tool, ...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql55 (ALAS-2013-187)

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. Information about these flaws can be found in the References section. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were extracted from Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory ALAS-2013-18...

Amazon Linux AMI : gdb (ALAS-2013-159)

GDB tried to auto-load certain files such as GDB scripts, Python scripts, and a thread debugging library from the current working directory when debugging programs. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code with the user's privileges when GDB was run in a directory that has untrusted...

Amazon Linux AMI : dhcp (ALAS-2012-115)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled zero-length client identifiers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted request to dhcpd, possibly causing it to enter an infinite loop and consume an excessive amount of CPU time. CVE-2012-3571 Two...

Amazon Linux AMI : perl (ALAS-2011-19)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Perl decoded Unicode strings. An attacker could create a malicious Unicode string that, when decoded by a Perl program, would cause the program to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the...

Amazon Linux AMI : httpd24 (ALAS-2013-194)

Cross-site scripting XSS flaws were found in the modproxybalancer module's manager web interface. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the manager web interface, into visiting a specially crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2012-39)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code wi...

Amazon Linux AMI : python26 (ALAS-2012-80)

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 : subversion (ALAS-2013-180)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the moddavsvn module handled PROPFIND requests on activity URLs. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the httpd process serving the request to crash. CVE-2013-1849 A flaw was found in the way the moddavsvn module handled large numbers...

Amazon Linux AMI : postgresql (ALAS-2011-12)

A signedness issue was found in the way the crypt function in the PostgreSQL pgcrypto module handled 8-bit characters in passwords when using Blowfish hashing. Up to three characters immediately preceding a non-ASCII character one with the high bit set had no effect on the hash result, thus...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnutls (ALAS-2013-172)

It was discovered that GnuTLS leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL 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 server as a padding oracle...

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...
