The gwt-servlet issue is only on c++ versions of protobuf, so we believe there 
is no exploit here at all.

The other issues are all specific to gwt-dev, and neither gwt-dev.jar nor 
gwt-user.jar should ever be deployed as part of a running server application, 
so none of those should be exploitable either.
