I have installed the patch from security-testing. On system resume, I sometimes 
notice effects like:

* Time synced noticeably late. For example, when my laptop wakes up on morning, 
Thunderbird considers today's e-mails as e-mails from future day (so it 
displays date, not only time).
* Some VMs don't get the time synced at all (or at least after a huge delay 
that looks like forever). I've repeatedly seen this at some VM with a 
background bot.
* The same applies to Wi-Fi. It sometimes seems to be attached even after I 
type the password (which is not short).

I have also seen one strange change (not sure about the timing, but it might be 
related to the update) that might affect security of those who use some 
pseudo-DVM for sys-usb. When I remove USB „mouse“* and attach it back, the 
mouse is automatically allowed. Maybe the connection has not been closed. The 
strange part is that this does not apply for USB keyboard, although the input 
proxy works virtually the same.

So, before adding an untrusted device, it is not enough to disconnect USB 
keyboard/touchpad. I also have to reboot the sys-usb VM.

*) I have two USB „mice“, none of them is actual traditional mouse. One of them 
is a touchpad that uses mouse USB protocol. The other one is a keyboard that 
has capability of clicking and looks like multiple input devices on the USB 
protocol.
