MGASA-2014-0154 - Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML package fixes security vulnerabilies Publication date: 03 Apr 2014 URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0154.html Type: security Affected Mageia releases: 3, 4 CVE: CVE-2013-6393, CVE-2014-2525 Description: Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML packages fix security vulnerabilities: Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team discovered a heap-based buffer overflow flaw in LibYAML, a fast YAML 1.1 parser and emitter library. A remote attacker could provide a YAML document with a specially-crafted tag that, when parsed by an application using libyaml, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2013-6393). Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team discovered a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in LibYAML, a fast YAML 1.1 parser and emitter library. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document that, when parsed by an application using libyaml, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2014-2525). The perl-YAML-LibYAML package is being updated as it contains an embedded copy of LibYAML.
