Bug 710658 – <dev-python/pyyaml-5.3: insufficient restrictions on the load and load_all functions (CVE-2019-20477)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-02-24 13:31:03 UTC]

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1806005 :
PyYAML 5.1 through 5.1.2 has insufficient restrictions on the load and load_all
functions because of a class deserialization issue, e.g., Popen is a class in
the subprocess module. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2017-18342.

@maintainer(s): since the fixed package is already in the tree, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

Does it matter if we're banning those insecure functions entirely?

[Comment 2 Michał Górny 2020-02-24 14:47:05 UTC]

Either way, 5.3 seems to be ready to go stable, so let's stabilize it.
