NVD Description

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

Those using Snakeyaml to parse untrusted YAML files may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stack overflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack.
