Bug#771365: libyaml-libyaml-perl: CVE-2014-9130: Wrapped strings cause assert failure

Source: libyaml-libyaml-perl
Version: 0.38-3
Severity: important
Tags: security upstream fixed-upstream

Hi

An assert is triggered by wrapped strings, see [1,2]. The patch
applied to the new upstream version was to comment out the assertion
and let the parser fail.
