Summary
golang-yaml.v2 vulnerabilities
Details

Simon Ferquel discovered that the Go yaml package incorrectly handled certain YAML documents. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the system to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-4235)
