I asked in the original bug report to have Enigmail updated to 1.9.9.
Posteo, one of the sponsors of the audit, wrote at
https://posteo.de/en/blog/security-warning-for-thunderbird-users-and-
enigmail-users-vulnerabilities-threaten-confidentiality-of-communication
:

"For Enigmail users:

* Update Enigmail immediately to the new version 1.9.9. This update removes all 
vulnerabilities identified in this audit.
* ..."

An excerpt of the audit report is available at
https://www.enigmail.net/download/other/Enigmail%20Pentest%20Report%20by%20Cure53%20-%20Excerpt.pdf
linked from the Enigmail changelog at
https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/download/changelog .

At your link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates it says:

"2. When

2.1. High-impact bugs

Stable release updates will, in general, only be issued in order to fix
high-impact bugs. Examples of such bugs include:

* Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a
security vulnerability. These are done by the security team and are
documented at SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures.

* ..."

That's the situation here, there are multiple bugs that cause security
vulnerabilities and I submitted a bug report here asking for Enigmail to
be updated. If that means this is a "stable release update" and not a
"fake-sync", that's fine with me.

I'm not part of the Enigmail development team. It seems from your link
that this should be handled by the security team, but if you or the
security team are not the right group to handle this according to Ubuntu
bug rules, please feel free to reassign this to a different team, or
leave it unassigned and remove the "Incomplete" status.
