This is the current status:

9.1 (experimental): Fixed in current 9.1~beta3-1, thus not tracking
the bug for 9.1.

9.0 (testing/unstable): 9.0.4 is vulnerable, will be fixed in 9.0.5.
Can be fixed through new upstream release, not urgent.

8.4 (stable/testing/unstable): 8.4.8 is vulnerable. As 8.4 is obsolete
in testing/unstable, this is not urgent to fix there.

So I'll prepare a security fix for 8.4 stable.

Thanks,

Martin
