Synopsis
========

A Vulnerability in LibYAML could result in execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

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

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 dev-libs/libyaml < 0.1.5 >= 0.1.5

Description
===========

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libyaml parsed
YAML tags.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document which
when parsed by LibYAML, would cause the application to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges the user who is
running the application.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All LibYAML users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=dev-libs/libyaml-0.1.5”
