Title: DSA-2885-1 libyaml-libyaml-perl - security update
Description: 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.

Title: SUSE-SU-2015:0953-2 -- Security update for perl-YAML-LibYAML (moderate)
Description: erl-YAML-LibYAML was updated to fix three security issues. These security issues were fixed: - CVE-2013-6393: The yaml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c in LibYAML before 0.1.5 performed an incorrect cast, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in a YAML document, which triggered a heap-based buffer overflow (bnc#860617, bnc#911782).
