CVE-2022-38750 [HIGH] SnakeYAML vulnerabilities
Title: SnakeYAML vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in SnakeYAML.
It was discovered that SnakeYAML did not limit the maximal nested depth
for collections when parsing YAML data. If a user or automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted YAML file, an attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause applications using SnakeYAML to crash,
resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-25857, CVE-2022-38749,
CVE-2022-38750)
It was discovered that SnakeYAML did not limit the maximal data matched
with regular expressions when parsing YAML data. If a user or automated
system were tricked into opening a specially crafted YAML file, an
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications using
SnakeYAML to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (C

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

Using snakeYAML to parse untrusted YAML files may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow.
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.
Statement: 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
