Description
YAML::Syck versions before 1.36 for Perl has missing null-terminators which causes out-of-bounds read and potential information disclosure Missing null terminators in token.c leads to but-of-bounds read which allows adjacent variable to be read The issue is seen with complex YAML files with a hash of all keys and empty values.Β  There is no indication that the issue leads to accessing memory outside that allocated to the module.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability in YAML::Syck versions before 1.36 for Perl is caused by missing null terminators in the code, specifically in token.c. This leads to an out-of-bounds read, allowing the program to read adjacent variables in memory. The issue occurs with complex YAML files containing a hash of all keys with empty values. However, there is no indication that memory outside the module's allocated space is accessed.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability can lead to potential information disclosure by reading adjacent variables in memory due to out-of-bounds reads. This could expose sensitive data processed by the YAML::Syck module when handling complex YAML files.
