3. Description:

YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and
interaction with scripting languages. LibYAML is a YAML parser and emitter
written in C.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the libyaml library parsed URLs
in YAML documents. An attacker able to load specially crafted YAML input to
an application using libyaml could cause the application to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
the application. (CVE-2014-2525)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the libyaml library handled
excessively long YAML tags. An attacker able to load specially crafted YAML
input to application using libyaml could cause the application to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
the application. (CVE-2013-6393)

Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting the CVE-2014-2525 issue.
oCERT acknowledges Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team as the original

which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running
applications linked against the libyaml library must be restarted for this
update to take effect.
