Prompted by your question I double-checked this. In fact the versions
released in Debian never contained the vulnerability, so marked it as
such, thanks for the note.

Reason: the earlier version did not contain the code, and the next one
uploaded to unstable was 0.9.9+dfsg-1 which contained the fully fixed
javascript code. Upstream's versions are useless here as they seem to
have released twice 0.9.9 (once broken and once fixed).

Regards,
Salvatore
