The remote host is missing an update for the 'yaml' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0150 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 (CVE-2014-2525).

Affected Software/OS:
'yaml' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4.
