Summary
Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2018-1100: A buffer overflow flaw was found in the zsh shell check path functionality. A local, unprivileged user can create a specially crafted message file, which, if used to set a custom "you have new mail" message, leads to code execution in the context of the user who receives the message. If the user affected is privileged, this leads to privilege escalation. 1563395: CVE-2018-1100 zsh: buffer overflow in utils.c:checkmailpath() can lead to local arbitrary code execution CVE-2018-1083: A buffer overflow flaw was found in the zsh shell auto-complete functionality. A local, unprivileged user can create a specially crafted directory path which leads to code execution in the context of the user who tries to use auto-complete to traverse the before mentioned path. If the user affected is privileged, this leads to privilege escalation. 1557382: CVE-2018-1083 zsh: Stack-based buffer overflow in gen_matches_files() at compctl.c CVE-2018-1071: zsh through version 5.4.2 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow in the exec.c:hashcmd() function. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. 1553531: CVE-2018-1071 zsh: Stack-based buffer overflow in exec.c:hashcmd()
