There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - YAML::Syck versions before 1.47 for Perl allow a use-after-free and double-free via an anchor node freed
    while still on the parser value stack. In the bundled libsyck, when an anchor name is redefined or
    removed, syck_hdlr_add_anchor and syck_hdlr_remove_anchor free the node stored under that name with
    syck_free_node. That node can still be live on the parser's value stack, so syck_hdlr_add_node reaches it
    again and frees it a second time. On a normal build the 48-byte node chunk is freed twice and the
    interpreter aborts. Anchors need no special flags, so this is reached on the default Load path, and a
    7-byte document that redefines an anchor triggers it. Any caller that runs Load or LoadFile on an
    untrusted document that redefines an anchor mid-parse crashes the interpreter, a denial of service.
    (CVE-2026-13713)

  - YAML::Syck versions before 1.47 for Perl allow an out-of-bounds read via a signed-char lookup-table index
    in syck_base64dec. The base64 decoder in the bundled libsyck indexes the 256-entry static table b64_xtable
    with a signed char, so any !!binary byte >= 0x80 sign-extends to a negative index and reads before the
    table. The decoder receives the raw bytes of any !!binary node, a standard YAML type not gated by
    $LoadBlessed or $LoadCode, so it is reached on the default Load path. Any caller that runs Load or
    LoadFile on an untrusted document containing a !!binary scalar with a high-bit byte triggers the read, and
    the value read can surface in the decoded result. (CVE-2026-57075)

  - YAML::Syck versions before 1.47 for Perl allow a heap use-after-free via an anchor name reused as an
    anchors-table key in syck_hdlr_add_anchor. In the bundled libsyck an anchor name allocated by syck_strndup
    is stored both as node->anchor, freed when the node is freed, and as the key in the parser's anchors
    table. Freeing the node frees the shared key, and a later anchor redefinition makes st_delete compare
    against the freed key, so st_strcmp reads freed heap memory. Anchors are a standard YAML feature and need
    no special flags, so this is reached on the default Load path. Any caller that runs Load or LoadFile on an
    untrusted document that redefines an anchor reaches the read of freed memory. (CVE-2026-57076)

  - YAML::Syck versions before 1.47 for Perl allow an out-of-bounds read via an unbounded newline scan in
    newline_len. In the bundled libsyck newline_len and is_newline dereference the scan pointer, and the
    following byte for a "\r\n" pair, with no NUL-terminator or bounds check. During block-scalar lexing at a
    document boundary the scan runs one byte past the heap lexer buffer. This is an incomplete fix of
    CVE-2025-11683, on a lexer path the earlier fix did not cover. Any caller that runs Load or LoadFile on an
    untrusted document with a block scalar at a document boundary reaches the over-read. (CVE-2026-57077)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2007 advisory.

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-c8484f1afb advisory.

     This update addresses four `libsyck` memory-safety CVEs reachable from the default `YAML::Syck::Load()`     path on untrusted input with no special flags:

     * CVE-2026-57075 (CWE-125): Out-of-bounds read in the base64 decoder caused by signed-char indexing of     the decode table on !!binary input

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - YAML::Syck versions before 1.47 for Perl allow a use-after-free and double-free via an anchor node freed     while still on the parser value stack.
