Title:Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-397)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'libserf' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-397 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libserf' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-397 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The (1) serf_ssl_cert_issuer, (2) serf_ssl_cert_subject, and (3) serf_ssl_cert_certificate functions in Serf 0.2.0 through 1.3.x before 1.3.7 does not properly handle a NUL byte in a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.

Affected Software/OS:
'libserf' package(s) on Amazon Linux.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
