<background>
<p>LibYAML is a YAML 1.1 parser and emitter written in C.</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libyaml parsed
YAML tags.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document which
when parsed by LibYAML, would cause the application to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges the user who is
running the application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All LibYAML users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/libyaml-0.1.5"
</code>
</resolution>
