CVE-2022-38749

A flaw was found in the snakeyaml package due to a stack-overflow in parsing YAML files. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Red Hat Build of Quarkus is not affected by this issue as it already includes the fixed version.

Satellite component Candlepin does not directly use snakeyaml, so it is not affected. Regardless, an update with the latest, unaffected snakeyaml version will be provided at next release.
