NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream devscripts package and not the devscripts package as distributed by Debian.

scripts/grep-excuses.pl in Debian devscripts through 2.18.3 allows code execution through unsafe YAML loading because YAML::Syck is used without a configuration that prevents unintended blessing.
