Uncontrolled recursion in rust-yaml

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.
