+ <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>
