Can you give some more info please, like the CVE number, where to get the patch and what symptoms will it have when it fails.

I will file a bug with Debian so they can look into it. Also what version has it fixed, in case the choose to upgrade to a later version? Debian have announced they are expecting to release Debian 11 on the 14th of August so it will be too late to get it in there but they might be able to use a backports repo.

Cheers,
