Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: serde yaml versions 0.6.0 through 0.8.3

Description: The issue is related to Uncontrolled Recursion, which can cause a denial of service by aborting. This occurs when the from * functions, specifically all deserialization functions, parse a malicious YAML file.
