LibYAML is a YAML 1.1 parser and emitter written in C.

+
+ +

The yaml_parser_scan_uri_escapes() function does not properly expand + strings passed as input, which can result in a heap-based buffer + overflow. +

+
+ +

An attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document, which, when + parsed by LibYAML, could result in arbitrary code execution or cause the + application to crash. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All LibYAML users should upgrade to the latest version:

+ + + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libyaml-0.1.6" + + +

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools + such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages. +
