CriticalMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
devscripts versions through 2.18.3
Description
The issue allows code execution through unsafe YAML loading because YAML::Syck is used without a configuration that prevents unintended blessing. This is related to the scripts/grep-excuses.pl in Debian devscripts.
Recommendations
For devscripts versions through 2.18.3, consider updating the YAML::Syck configuration to prevent unintended blessing as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
