Overview

yaml-cpp is a YAML parser and emitter in C++.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The attacks are possible because the SingleDocParser::HandleNode() function does not handle YAML files properly, allowing the attackers to trigger stack consumption and application crash using malicious YAML files.
