Updated perl-YAML packages fix security vulnerability
Updated perl-YAML package fixes security vulnerability:
This update enforces that $LoadCode must be enabled to use the feature of evaluating typeglobs, because with the typeglob feature you would be able to set the variable $YAML::LoadCode from a YAML file, and that would be a security issue.
The perl-YAML package has been updated to version 1.30, fixing this issue and other bugs.
