CVE-2024-35329

Published: 11 June 2024

** DISPUTED ** libyaml 0.2.5 is vulnerable to a heap-based Buffer Overflow in yaml_document_add_sequence in api.c. NOTE: the supplier disputes this because the finding represents a user error. The problem is that the application, which was making use of the libyaml library, omitted the required calls to the yaml_document_initialize and yaml_document_delete functions.

golang-goyaml is a go translation of libyaml and shouldn't share
implementation flaws, but may share design flaws

Per upstream developers, the PoC code is wrong and they will
request that the CVE be rejected.
This has now been rejected, marking as not-affected
