severity 398457 important
thanks

The normal severity for security bugs of a DoS nature is important rather
than grave, because a DoS doesn't compromise a user's account or
information.  If the maintainer believes this bug renders the package
unreleasable, or the exploit is so trivial and widespread as to make the
package "unusable or mostly so", it would be reasonable to re-raise the
severity, but those are then reasons that have nothing to do with the
security aspect of the bug.

Thanks,
