I had no replies about this, so I think it's time to bite the bullet and decide whether we should target this fix at - stable-security - stable - neither of the above. I think I'm leaning towards stable on the basis that that's a slightly safer place to land a possibly-problematic fix, as well as the fact I don't know of any real world exploits for this, but I an open to (and welcome) all comments. I seem to remember reading that a point release of squeeze is due quite soon, but I couldn't find an announcment of such.
