This is new in the tracker, and so might be DSA material. Security team,
can you decide if this should be a point release or a DSA please?

Not speaking for the release team, but from experience: the issues should
be fixed in unstable first (I notice the bug is pending) and then a debdiff
prepared and submitted to the release team for consideration.

I'm tracking these three issues - it would help me greatly to keep PRSC
somewhere in the subject.

Thanks,
