Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2013-263
Advisory Release Date: 2013-12-17 21:29 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2014-09-16 22:11 Pacific
Severity: Critical

Issue Overview:

A memory corruption flaw was found in the way the openssl_x509_parse() function of the PHP openssl extension parsed X.509 certificates. A remote attacker could use this flaw to provide a malicious self-signed certificate or a certificate signed by a trusted authority to a PHP application using the aforementioned function, causing the application to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the PHP interpreter.
