Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-03-17 03:08:37 UTC 
CVE-2017-18640:

The Alias feature in SnakeYAML 1.18 allows entity expansion during a load operation, a related issue to CVE-2003-1564.

Patch: https://bitbucket.org/asomov/snakeyaml/commits/da11ddbd91c1f8392ea932b37fa48110fa54ed8c

Patch appears to only be included in 1.26 onward, contradicting the CVE
description, so needs bump to at least 1.26.

I assume this was "fixed" in commit c16e45c8. Then please in the future make sure that no arches are missing in CC.
