CVE-2019-6292
Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a cpp file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.88%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in singledocparser.cpp in yaml-cpp (aka LibYaml-C++) 0.6.2. Stack Exhaustion occurs in YAML::SingleDocParser, and there is a stack consumption problem caused by recursive stack frames: HandleCompactMap, HandleMap, HandleFlowSequence, HandleSequence, HandleNode. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a cpp file.
