Strictly speaking this is not RC (so if you strongly disagree please
downgrade). While not a serious problem if run not with a privileged
user or over untrusted networks, I feel would still be great to have
this issue fixed for the upcoming bullseye.

Possible to rebase to the 1.8.19 release before the upcoming freeze?
