Affected versions of this crate did not properly check for recursion while deserializing aliases.
This allows an attacker to make a YAML file with an alias referring to itself causing an abort.
The flaw was corrected by checking the recursion depth.
This project might be open to known security vulnerabilities, which can be prevented by tightening the version range of affected dependencies. Find detailed information at the bottom.

serde_yaml: Uncontrolled recursion leads to abort in deserializationAffected versions of this crate did not properly check for recursion while deserializing aliases.
This allows an attacker to make a YAML file with an alias referring to itself causing an abort.
