NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libyaml-devel package and not the libyaml-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
