NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby193-libyaml.src package and not the ruby193-libyaml.src package as distributed by RHEL.

scanner.c in LibYAML 0.1.5 and 0.1.6, as used in the YAML-LibYAML (aka YAML-XS) module for Perl, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and crash) via vectors involving line-wrapping.
