symfony/yaml is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion
37
Low Risk
This Affects:
symfony/yamlTL;DR
Parser and Inline parse nested YAML blocks, sequences, and mappings without a recursion depth limit. Deeply nested crafted YAML can exhaust the PHP stack. Pre-fix applications that parse untrusted YAML can crash worker processes. The fix tracks nesting depth in shared parser state and adds a configurable limit.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
