Category:	Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-317)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-317 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-317 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not validate certain auth_enable and auth_capable fields before making an sctp_sf_authenticate call, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an SCTP handshake with a modified INIT chunk and a crafted AUTH chunk before a COOKIE_ECHO chunk. Affected Software/OS: 'kernel' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
