FAQs regarding Amazon Linux ALAS/CVE Severity
An issue was discovered in Amanda 3.3.1. A user with backup privileges can trivially compromise a client installation. The "runtar" setuid root binary does not check for additional arguments supplied after --create, allowing users to manipulate commands and perform command injection as root. (CVE-2016-10729)
