Why these 3? I can see why you want to fix the 2 VGA vulns
(3710 & 3712 above), but 5238? Note that while the bug might
look more or less serious, the device in question is not a
very commonly used one. I don't know if it is used at all.
More, this prob is nearly impossibe to hit in practice.
And even more, this prob isn't fixed in sid yet, as of today
the fix hasn't landed in upstream git still.
VGA bugs are worth to fix for sure.
