Summary: Updated ruby193-libyaml packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Software Collections 1. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Software Collections for RHEL 6 Server - x86_64 Red Hat Software Collections for RHEL 6 Workstation - x86_64 3. Description: YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and interaction with scripting languages. LibYAML is a YAML parser and emitter written in C. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the libyaml library parsed URLs in YAML documents. An attacker able to load specially crafted YAML input to an application using libyaml could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2014-2525) An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the libyaml library handled excessively long YAML tags. An attacker able to load specially crafted YAML input to application using libyaml could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
