Category:	Amazon Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-449)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ruby21' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-449 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ruby21' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-449 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The upstream patch for CVE-2014-8080 introduced checks against the REXML.entity_expansion_text_limit, but did not add restrictions to limit the number of expansions performed, i.e. checks against the REXML::Document.entity_expansion_limit. As a consequence, even with the patch applied, a small XML document could cause REXML to use an excessive amount of CPU time. High memory usage can be achieved using larger inputs. Affected Software/OS: 'ruby21' package(s) on Amazon Linux. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
