Right, the core code is up-to-date as of 7.1.314.  I'm currently working
on updating the remaining affected runtime files/documentation for an
upload to unstable.

Given that the vulnerability requires the user to edit files with rather
odd filenames, I'm not sure whether it warrants a security upload to
stable-security.  Comments from the security team?

If there is a need for one, I could spend some time this weekend getting
a more minimal diff to apply against the stable package.
