{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-5089","details":"YAML::Syck versions before 1.38 for Perl  has an out-of-bounds read.  The base60 (sexagesimal) parsing code in perl_syck.h has a buffer underflow bug in both int#base60 and float#base60 handlers. When processing the leftmost segment of a colon-separated value (e.g., the 1 in 1:30:45), the inner while loop can decrement a pointer past the start of the string buffer:      while ( colon \u003e= ptr && *colon != ':' )     {         colon--;     }     if ( *colon == ':' ) *colon = '\\0';  // colon may be ptr-1 here  When no colon is found (final/leftmost segment), colon becomes ptr-1, and the subsequent *colon dereference reads one byte before the allocated buffer.","modified":"2026-09-14T17:03:17.294165426Z","published":"2026-05-12T17:16:21.720Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-5089"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-5089"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libyaml-syck-perl","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libyaml-syck-perl?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.34-2+deb12u3"}]}],"versions":["1.34-2","1.34-2+deb12u1","1.34-2+deb12u2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-5089.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libyaml-syck-perl","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libyaml-syck-perl?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.34-2+deb13u3"}]}],"versions":["1.34-2","1.34-2+deb13u1","1.34-2+deb13u2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-5089.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libyaml-syck-perl","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libyaml-syck-perl?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.36-3"}]}],"versions":["1.34-2","1.34-3","1.34-4","1.36-1","1.36-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-5089.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L"}]}
