Category:	Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2013-165)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssh' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2013-165 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssh' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2013-165 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Due to the way the pam_ssh_agent_auth PAM module was built, the glibc's error() function was called rather than the intended error() function in pam_ssh_agent_auth to report errors. As these two functions expect different arguments, it was possible for an attacker to cause an application using pam_ssh_agent_auth to crash, disclose portions of its memory or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5536) Affected Software/OS: 'openssh' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
