Descriptions
scripts/grep-excuses.pl in Debian devscripts through 2.18.3 allows code execution through unsafe YAML loading because YAML::Syck is used without a configuration that prevents unintended blessing.
scripts/grep-excuses.pl en Debian devscripts hasta la versión 2.18.3 permite la ejecución de código mediante la carga insegura de YAML debido a que YAML::Syck se emplea sin una configuración que evite una bendición no planeada.
It was discovered that devscripts incorrectly handled certain YAML files. An attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code.
