Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0040)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'yaml' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0040 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'yaml' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0040 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated libyaml packages fix security vulnerabilities: Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team discovered a heap-based buffer overflow flaw in LibYAML, a fast YAML 1.1 parser and emitter library. A remote attacker could provide a YAML document with a specially-crafted tag that, when parsed by an application using libyaml, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2013-6393). Affected Software/OS: 'yaml' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
