Details

YAML::Syck versions through 1.36 for Perl has several potential security vulnerabilities including a high-severity heap buffer overflow in the YAML emitter.

The heap overflow occurs when class names exceed the initial 512-byte allocation.

The base64 decoder could read past the buffer end on trailing newlines.

strtok mutated n->type_id in place, corrupting shared node data.

A memory leak occurred in syckhdlradd_anchor when a node already had an anchor. The incoming anchor string 'a' was leaked on early return.
