What kind of help had you in mind?

In any case, the above text means:
1/ finding out the upstream commit that fixes the security issue
2/ trying to apply it to the version that we have in Debian stable
3/ adapting it if required (because the code evolved between
3.3.2 and 3.4.1 and the patch might not apply any more)

There's no need to be a Debian developer to do this. Submitting patches by
mail here is perfectly OK.

Going further, if you help on a regular basis, I can get you added to the
Alioth project so that you can commit your work directly.

Great!

Do you need direction to get started or do you already know how you can
help?
