Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions snakeYAML (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the parsing of untrusted YAML files, which may lead to Denial of Service attacks. If the parser is running on user-supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stack-overflow. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a service disruption.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of snakeYAML for parsing untrusted YAML files to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using snakeYAML to parse user-supplied input until the issue is resolved.
