Uncontrolled recursion leads to abort in deserialization

Details
Package yaml-rust
Version 0.3.5
URL chyh1990/yaml-rust#109
Date 2018-09-17
Patched versions >= 0.4.1

Affected versions of this crate did not prevent deep recursion while
deserializing data structures.

This allows an attacker to make a YAML file with deeply nested structures
that causes an abort while deserializing it.

The flaw was corrected by checking the recursion depth.

See advisory page for additional details.

This appears to be a dependency of [email protected] - so we'll need to wait until they update it (or switch to [email protected] when it becomes GA.

Since we're not using any of the YAML functionality within clap, this is likely not an issue for our use case.
