Category:	Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-392)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-392 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-392 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The media_device_enum_entities function in drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/media0 read access for a MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES ioctl call. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled the requeuing of certain Priority Inheritance (PI) futexes. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the 'LECHO & !OPOST' case, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with long strings. Affected Software/OS: 'kernel' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
