Bug#998419: kodi: CVE-2021-42917

[Vasyl Gello <vasek.gello@gmail.com>]

Control: fixed -1 2:19.3+dfsg1-1
Control: found -1 2:19.1+dfsg2-2~bpo10+1-1

Hi Salvatore!

This bug was fixed in 19.3 upstream, and the sid/bookworm version is not vulnerable.
I would like to upload 19.3 to stable-pu or stable-sec but the approval from SRM is pending for 19.2.

Is it possible to upload 2:19.3+dfsg1-1 to stable-sec as a whole package?
Or I have to apply the patch for 2:19.1+dfsg2-2 and upload -3?
