Tracker summary

CVE-2013-6393 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 2 source packages (libyaml, libyaml-libyaml-perl), 10 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 10.

Description:

The yaml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c in LibYAML before 0.1.5 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in a YAML document, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
