Description Gianluca Gabrielli 2021-05-24 08:56:26 UTC 
CVE-2021-28903

A stack overflow in libyang <= v1.0.225 can cause a denial of service through
function lyxml_parse_mem(). lyxml_parse_elem() function will be called
recursively, which will consume stack space and lead to crash.

Hi, could you please provide a fix for this bug please? :)
Comment 6 Petr Gajdos 2022-09-08 13:03:06 UTC 
Thanks to Danilo Spinella, done for 15sp3/libyang. Reassigning to openSUSE maintainer.

When done, please reassign to security-team@suse.de.

Might be that libyang in Factory is not affected at all. Could you please help us by stating this fact in *.changes file?
