From ${URL} :

The SingleDocParser::HandleFlowSequence function in yaml-cpp (aka LibYaml-C++) 0.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service 
(stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted YAML file.

Reference:
https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/issues/660



@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
