In order to fix this, we can just sync 0.3.0-2 from Sid to Zesty. Here
is the changelog for 0.3.0-2:

lxterminal (0.3.0-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix improper use of /tmp for a socket file. (CVE-2016-10369)
    (Closes: #862098)
  * Fix tab renaming dialog. (Closes: #862096)

The first entry is fixing the CVE that this bug is about, and the second
entry is fixing a bug that we would have to upload anyways "unable to
rename tabs" and that's perfectly valid for an SRU, in my opinion.

Security team, I think there's a few options here:
 1. Make an Ubuntu delta with only this CVE in Zesty, upload it to 
zesty-security, and file a separate SRU bug to get the additional patch from 
Debian in there. I think, technically speaking, this follows the most rules.
 2. Just sync from Debian Sid as shown above, and skip the SRU docs for the 
additional part of the upload. This would be the easiest, and it would be 
simpler.

Thoughts?
