Description

PyYAML 5.1 through 5.1.2 has insufficient restrictions on the load and load_all functions because of a class deserialization issue, e.g., Popen is a class in the subprocess module. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-18342.

Solution(s)

  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp8-upgrade-python2-pyyaml
