<background> |
36 |
<p>LibYAML is a YAML 1.1 parser and emitter written in C.</p> |
37 |
</background> |
38 |
<description> |
39 |
<p>The yaml_parser_scan_uri_escapes() function does not properly expand |
40 |
strings passed as input, which can result in a heap-based buffer |
41 |
overflow. |
42 |
</p> |
43 |
</description> |
44 |
<impact type="normal"> |
45 |
<p>An attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document, which, when |
46 |
parsed by LibYAML, could result in arbitrary code execution or cause the |
47 |
application to crash. |
48 |
</p> |
49 |
</impact> |
50 |
<workaround> |
51 |
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p> |
52 |
</workaround> |
53 |
<resolution> |
54 |
<p>All LibYAML users should upgrade to the latest version:</p> |
55 |
|
56 |
<code> |
57 |
# emerge --sync |
58 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libyaml-0.1.6" |
59 |
</code> |
60 |
|
61 |
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools |
62 |
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages. |
63 |
