This is a cherry-picked upstream commit [0] that fixes CVE-2014-9130 [1]. Debian used the same patch. You can find it by clicking on VCS here: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libyaml
I don't link directly to that VCS because the repo is on the maintainer's domain, so you should follow the link from Debian's domain yourself.
