CVE-2009-3743 It was found that Ghostscript alwa...

Amazon Linux AMI : libxml2 (ALAS-2012-134)

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way libxml2 handled documents that enable entity expansion. A remote attacker could provide a large, specially crafted XML file that, when opened in an application linked against libxml2, would cause the...

Amazon Linux AMI : openssh (ALAS-2012-99)

A denial of service flaw was found in the OpenSSH GSSAPI authentication implementation. A remote, authenticated user could use this flaw to make the OpenSSH server daemon sshd use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service. GSSAPI authentication is enabled by default...

Amazon Linux AMI : openswan (ALAS-2011-06)

When an ISAKMP message with an invalid KEYLENGTH attribute is received, the error handling function crashes on a NULL pointer dereference. Openswan automatically restarts the pluto IKE daemon but all ISAKMP state is lost. This vulnerability does NOT allow an attacker access to the system. This ca...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.7.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-162)

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the JMX and Libraries components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions. CVE-2013-1486 , CVE-2013-1484 An improper permission check issue was discovered in the...

Amazon Linux AMI : pam (ALAS-2013-160)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the pamenv module parsed users' '/.pamenvironment' files. If an application's PAM configuration contained 'userreadenv=1' this is not the default, a local attacker could use this flaw to crash the application or, possibly, escalate their...

Amazon Linux AMI : libtiff (ALAS-2012-106)

libtiff did not properly convert between signed and unsigned integer values, leading to a buffer overflow. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code...

Amazon Linux AMI : java-1.7.0-openjdk (ALAS-2013-183)

Multiple flaws were discovered in the font layout engine in the 2D component. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use these flaws to trigger Java Virtual Machine memory corruption. CVE-2013-1569 , CVE-2013-2383 , CVE-2013-2384 Multiple improper permission check issues were...

Amazon Linux AMI : libvorbis (ALAS-2012-47)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the libvorbis library parsed Ogg Vorbis media files. If a specially crafted Ogg Vorbis media file was opened by an application using libvorbis, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges o...

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