The embedded copy of libyaml is in perl-YAML-LibYAML, not perl-YAML (a pure-perl implementation).

Package patched for cauldron, mga4 and mga3.

Packages currently building, should be available soon in core/updates_testing of the relevant mageia version (except cauldron of course).

Thanks Jerome!

It's hard to tell with Debian's strange package names :o)

Advisory:
========================

Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team discovered a heap-based
buffer overflow flaw in LibYAML, a fast YAML 1.1 parser and emitter library.
A remote attacker could provide a YAML document with a specially-crafted tag
that, when parsed by an application using libyaml, would cause the application
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running the application (CVE-2013-6393).

The perl-YAML-LibYAML package is being updated as it contains an embedded copy
of LibYAML.

For the reference, it seems to me that debian names its perl package like that:
lib<name>-<of>-<the>-<dist>-perl in lowercase (where mageia uses perl-<name>-<of>-<the>-<dist>)

So for upstream dist YAML-LibYAML, you get:
- mageia: perl-YAML-LibYAML
- debian: libyaml-libyaml-perl (yeah, that's ugly)

hth, Jérôme

It may also be affected by CVE-2014-2525:

Jerome, could you look into it?  The libyaml commit to fix it is linked there.

Created attachment 5090 [details]
The bash script with the test procedure.

This is the test procedure I created for the bug that just downloads and runs the test suite from the YAML-LibYAML distribution. It is mostly automated. I tested it on Mageia 4 x86-64.

Add mga-4-ok and has_procedure.

Whiteboard: MGA3TOO advisory => MGA3TOO advisory mga4-64-ok has_procedure

Mga-4-32 is OK too.

Whiteboard: MGA3TOO advisory mga4-64-ok has_procedure => MGA3TOO advisory mga4-64-ok mga4-32-ok has_procedure

Testing complete mga3 32

mga3 32 shows this, which looks to be due to the older version, it seems to be looking at a changelog and finding 0.41 but the system has version 0.38.

t/changes.t .......... 1/5 
#   Failed test 'There are 37 Changes entries'
#   at t/changes.t line 12.

#          got: '0.41'
#     expected: '0.38'
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 5.
t/changes.t .......... Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)

All other tests pass OK.
