Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.702850
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2850-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libyaml' package(s) announced via the DSA-2850-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libyaml' package(s) announced via the DSA-2850-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.3-1+deb6u2.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.4-2+deb7u2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.4-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libyaml packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'libyaml' package(s) on Debian 6, Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
