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 Ubuntu.

The SingleDocParser::HandleFlowSequence 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.
