CVE-2017-11692

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions yaml-cpp versions 0.5.3 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an assertion failure and application exit. This is achieved by providing a specific string, '!2', which exploits the Token& Scanner::peek function in scanner.cpp.

Recommendations For yaml-cpp versions 0.5.3 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the input to the Token& Scanner::peek function to prevent the '!2' string from being processed.
