Debian DLA-3132-1 : snakeyaml - LTS security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 165626

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3132 advisory.

- The package org.yaml:snakeyaml from 0 and before 1.31 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) due missing to nested depth limitation for collections. (CVE-2022-25857)

- Using snakeYAML to parse untrusted YAML files may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. (CVE-2022-38749, CVE-2022-38750, CVE-2022-38751)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the snakeyaml packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.23-1+deb10u1.
