Uncontrolled recursion leads to abort in deserialization
GHSA-39vw-qp34-rmwf
- Affected
- crates.io serde_yaml >= 0.6.0-rc1, < 0.8.4
- Fixed in
- 0.8.4· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Affected versions of this crate did not properly check for recursion while deserializing aliases. This allows an attacker to make a YAML file with an alias referring to itself causing an abort. The flaw was corrected by checking the recursion depth.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.8.4 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
