Major Updates:

• The deprecated aws-apitools-* packages are now no longer shipped by default in the AL1 AMI (see https://forums.thinkwithwp.com/thread.jspa?threadID=323611 for more details). 
• As per our previous announcement (see https://alas.thinkwithwp.com/announcements/2021-001.html) the log4j-cve-2021-44228-hotpatch is enabled by default, and is now part of the AMI rather than an update applied on launch.

Amazon Linux 2018.03.0.20211201.0 Update

Major Updates: 

• Updated nss to fix CVE-2021-43527. NSS (Network Security Services) up to and including 3.73 is vulnerable to a heap overflow when handling DER-encoded DSA or RSA-PSS signatures. Applications using NSS for handling signatures encoded within CMS, S/MIME, PKCS \#7, or PKCS \#12 are likely to be impacted. Applications using NSS for certificate validation or other TLS, X.509, OCSP or CRL functionality may be impacted, depending on how they configure NSS. When verifying a DER-encoded signature, NSS decodes the signature into a fixed-size buffer and passes the buffer to the underlying PKCS \#11 module. The length of the signature is not correctly checked when processing DSA and RSA-PSS signatures. DSA and RSA-PSS signatures larger than 16384 bits will overflow the buffer in VFYContextStr. The vulnerable code is located within secvfy.c:vfy_CreateContext. (CVE-2021-43527)

ENA driver updates: An ENA driver update that introduces Low Latency Queues (LLQ) for improved average and tail latencies. The update also adds support for receive checksum offload that improves CPU utilization.

The primary differences in between Amazon Linux AMI 2017.09 and Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03 is the inclusion of a newer kernel - Linux Kernel 4.14.

AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager support Amazon Linux AMI. This enables automated patching of fleets of Amazon Linux AMI EC2 instances. It can scan instances for missing patches and automatically install all missing patches.

To upgrade to Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03 from Amazon Linux AMI 2011.09 or later, run sudo yum clean all followed by sudo yum update. When the upgrade is complete, reboot your instance.

The Amazon Linux AMI repositories provided updates that allow you to roll from one version of the Amazon Linux AMI to the next.
