I have added them as temporary entries some days ago. No CVE assigned
AFAICS so far.

Did you noticed any problem on your tests on the production server?

Okay, maybe better be safe than sorry. Assuming you haven't any
problem with your update since some day, please go ahead with an
upload to security-master; target distribution need to be changed from
jessie to jessie-security (and urgency=high).

No, since all changes were acked by the SRM already, just base the
upload on the already uploaded.

Do you want to prepare a draft DSA text? If so the advsiory should as
well contain the already addressed in +deb8u2.

Thanks for all your work and help!

Regards,
Salvatore
