How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 libyaml-syck-perl to version 1.34-2+deb13u3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libyaml-syck-perl package and not the libyaml-syck-perl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

YAML::Syck versions before 1.47 for Perl allow an out-of-bounds read via an unbounded newline scan in newline_len.

In the bundled libsyck newline_len and is_newline dereference the scan pointer, and the following byte for a "\r\n" pair, with no NUL-terminator or bounds check. During block-scalar lexing at a document boundary the scan runs one byte past the heap lexer buffer. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2025-11683, on a lexer path the earlier fix did not cover.

Any caller that runs Load or LoadFile on an untrusted document with a block scalar at a document boundary reaches the over-read.
