Uncontrolled recursion in rust-yaml
CVE-2018-20993 · GHSA-hv87-47h9-jcvq
- Affected
- crates.io yaml-rust < 0.4.1
- Fixed in
- 0.4.1· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Affected versions of this crate did not prevent deep recursion while deserializing data structures. This allows an attacker to make a YAML file with deeply nested structures that causes an abort while deserializing it. The flaw was corrected by checking the recursion depth.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.4.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
