Summary

The yaml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c in LibYAML before 0.1.5 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in a YAML document, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

  • NASL familySuSE Local Security Checks
    NASL idSUSE_SU-2015-0953-1.NASL
    descriptionperl-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). - CVE-2014-9130: scanner.c in LibYAML 0.1.5 and 0.1.6, as used in the YAML-LibYAML (aka YAML-XS) module for Perl, allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and crash) via vectors involving line-wrapping (bnc#907809, bnc#911782). - CVE-2014-2525: Heap-based buffer overflow in the yaml_parser_scan_uri_escapes function in LibYAML before 0.1.6 allowed context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long sequence of percent-encoded characters in a URI in a YAML file (bnc#868944, bnc#911782). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    titleSUSE SLES12 Security Update : perl-YAML-LibYAML (SUSE-SU-2015:0953-1)
  • NASL familyRed Hat Local Security Checks
    NASL idREDHAT-RHSA-2014-0415.NASL
    descriptionUpdated libyaml packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Common for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and interaction with scripting languages. LibYAML is a YAML parser and emitter written in C. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the libyaml library parsed URLs in YAML documents. An attacker able to load specially crafted YAML input to an application using libyaml could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2014-2525) An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the libyaml library handled excessively long YAML tags. An attacker able to load specially crafted YAML input to application using libyaml could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2013-6393) Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting the CVE-2014-2525 issue. oCERT acknowledges Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team as the original reporter. The CVE-2013-6393 issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team. Note: In their default configuration, applications distributed via the Red Hat Common channel do not use the libyaml library for parsing YAML, and are therefore not vulnerable to these issues. All libyaml users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running applications linked against the libyaml library must be restarted for this update to take effect.

    titleRHEL 6 : libyaml (RHSA-2014:0415)
  • NASL familyFedora Local Security Checks
    NASL idFEDORA_2014-4517.NASL
    descriptionThis update addressed two security issues. CVE-2013-6393: The yaml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c in LibYAML before 0.1.5 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in a YAML document, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. CVE-2014-2525: The library is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow which can lead to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is caused by lack of proper expansion for the string passed to the yaml_parser_scan_uri_escapes() function. A specially crafted YAML file, with a long sequence of percent-encoded characters in a URL, can be used to trigger the overflow. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201403-02 (LibYAML: Arbitrary code execution) A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libyaml parsed YAML tags. Impact : A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted YAML document which when parsed by LibYAML, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges the user who is running the application. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
