Description

Using snakeYAML to parse untrusted YAML files may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stack-overflow.. A flaw was found in the snakeyaml package due to a stack-overflow in parsing YAML files. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause the application to crash.
