Terribly sorry for this cross-post, but it seems relevant, if not

I was going to ask the same thing today, to try to provide backported
patches. I assume you're writing of source patches, not binary patches?
Let's stay in contact with one another on this. If 4.4 and earlier are
vulnerable and patchable (that is, no make world required), I'll create
patchfiles and make them available. It may take me a day or two, though.
Developers: Userland is affected here - /usr/lib/libz. Would a
"make && make install" (sic) in /usr/src/lib/libz before building the
kernel suffice for a solid upgrade?
