-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2014-4517 2014-03-30 05:15:51 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : perl-YAML-LibYAML Product : Fedora 19 Version : 0.41 Release : 4.fc19 URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/YAML-LibYAML/ Summary : Perl YAML Serialization using XS and libyaml Description : Kirill Siminov's "libyaml" is arguably the best YAML implementation. The C library is written precisely to the YAML 1.1 specification. It was originally bound to Python and was later bound to Ruby. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update addressed two security issues. CVE-2013-6393: The yaml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c in LibYAML before 0.1.5 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in a YAML document, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. CVE-2014-2525: The library is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow which can lead to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is caused by lack of proper expansion for the string passed to the yaml_parser_scan_uri_escapes() function. A specially crafted YAML file, with a long sequence of percent-encoded characters in a URL, can be used to trigger the overflow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Mar 27 2014 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> - 0.41-4 - Fix LibYAML input sanitization errors (CVE-2014-2525) - Fix heap-based buffer overflow when parsing YAML tags (CVE-2013-6393) * Sun Aug 4 2013 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> - 0.41-3 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Mass_Rebuild * Wed Jul 17 2013 Petr Pisar <ppisar@redhat.com> - 0.41-2 - Perl 5.18 rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1078083 - CVE-2014-2525 libyaml: heap-based buffer overflow when parsing URLs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1078083 [ 2 ] Bug #1033990 - CVE-2013-6393 libyaml: heap-based buffer overflow when parsing YAML tags https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033990 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
