Just to be clear about it, while I'm member of the security team, the
heads-up can be considered not with that hat on. But as both Debian
contributor and autofs user, I noticed the bug and pinged you offlist
because agreeing that this should be fixed for bookworm.

Note that the situation is bit unfortunate, there is not muc htime
left to get it in. Applying the isolated (verified) patch and asking
the release team for an unblock before 25th of May has still some
room.
