Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory: ALAS-2012-57
Advisory Release Date: 2012-03-23 14:15 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2014-09-14 15:43 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
An integer overflow flaw was found in the implementation of the printf functions family. This could allow an attacker to bypass FORTIFY_SOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code using a format string flaw in an application, even though these protections are expected to limit the impact of such flaws to an application abort. (CVE-2012-0864)
