Summary
YAML::Syck versions before 1.36 for Perl has missing null-terminators which causes out-of-bounds read and potential information disclosure
Missing null terminators in token.c leads to but-of-bounds read which allows adjacent variable to be read
The issue is seen with complex YAML files with a hash of all keys and empty values. There is no indication that the issue leads to accessing memory outside that allocated to the module.
Severity ?
6.5 (Medium)
CWE
- CWE-119 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
