thanks

We talked about this offline and decided neither to do a DSA nor to pull
the upstream fix for forky.

Tagging this wontfix, will close it with the next upstream release.

Hi Marc,

I have marked the issue as unimportant in the security-tracker and
once a new upstream version includes the fix and this bug is closed we
will simply update the unstable version tracking along.

Regards,
Salvatore
