Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-12-01 18:06:59 UTC
CVE-2022-1471:

SnakeYaml's Constructor() class does not restrict types which can be instantiated during deserialization. Deserializing yaml content provided by an attacker can lead to remote code execution. We recommend using SnakeYaml's SafeConsturctor when parsing untrusted content to restrict deserialization.

Not sure we can do anything with no fixed version, mitigation will have to be done in consumers.

Yeah, upstream calls this invalid: https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml/wiki/CVE-2022-1471
