If a stable security update contained a regression, usually that is
fixed with an update in the stable security archive. Please ping the
maintainer and CC the security team about this. You will also want to
unarchive the bug so that it can be closed again.
I also wonder why the security team didn't pick this up, I guess they
don't have any automatic tracking of bugs filed against versions they
uploaded.
