Have you determined whether the regular Debian Security Team is interested
in addressing these issues in jessie?  Though carnil@ requested the
CVE number assignment, I do not see a debian bug for the issue and have
not (yet?) been in contact with the security team about it.  It seems like
it would be rather strange for a fix to go into wheezy but not jessie....

I will see if I can find time to prepare an update, though I think there are
a few things at higher priority on my Debian todo list at the moment.
If someone from the LTS team does get to it before I do, I'm happy to look
at the debdiff and provide another sanity check.
