AdaCore Security Advisory
=========================

SA-2012-L119-003 Hash collisions in AWS

Problem: Impacted versions of AWS store key/value pairs from submitted
form data in hash tables using a hash function that has
predictable collisions. As a result, a single specially crafted
HTTP request can cause the server to use hours of CPU time,
thus causing a denial of service.

Impact: All AWS releases and wavefronts prior to 2012-01-21

Status: This was fixed in AWS 2.11 and 2.10.2 on 2012-01-21
