At the bottom of the page is the status for the stable releases, which
didn't get a DSA due to being a minor issue.
The recent update of glibc on core-updates included a fix for a similar

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-15671
I suppose we can graft that too, but would prefer to just drop them. We
get the fixes when we merge core-updates in a few weeks anyway.
