Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for yaml-cpp.

CVE-2017-5950[0]:
| The SingleDocParser::HandleNode function in yaml-cpp (aka LibYaml-C++)
| 0.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack
| consumption and application crash) via a crafted YAML file.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

The issue is easily reproducible with the payload provided in the
upstream report, using the parser in util/parse.cpp and reduce the
stack size for easier reprodibility.
