NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream yaml-cpp package and not the yaml-cpp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The SingleDocParser::HandleFlowMap function in yaml-cpp (aka LibYaml-C++) 0.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted YAML file.
