Title:	Amazon Linux: Security Advisory (ALAS-2014-291)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'libyaml' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-291 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libyaml' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-291 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The yaml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c in LibYAML before 0.1.5 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in a YAML document, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. Affected Software/OS: 'libyaml' package(s) on Amazon Linux. 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
