Whilest one arguably can say that the issue was introduced/uncovered
by a security update, the package has already been accepted by the SRM
(thanks for that to Julien and Adam!).

So affected persons could already install the fixed packages via
proposed-updates, but maybe Julien and Adam can be conviced that an
update is important enought to schedule an update earlier via a SUA?
