Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2885-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libyaml-libyaml-perl' package(s) announced via the DSA-2885-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libyaml-libyaml-perl' package(s) announced via the DSA-2885-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team discovered a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in LibYAML, a fast YAML 1.1 parser and emitter library. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document 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. This update corrects this flaw in the copy that is embedded in the libyaml-libyaml-perl package. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.33-1+squeeze3. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.38-3+deb7u2. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.41-5. We recommend that you upgrade your libyaml-libyaml-perl packages. Affected Software/OS: 'libyaml-libyaml-perl' package(s) on Debian 6, Debian 7. 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
