From URL: 2020-03-24: Side channel during CBC padding The CBC padding operations were not constant time and as a result would leak the length of the plaintext values which were being padded to an attacker running a side channel attack via shared resources such as cache or branch predictor. No information about the contents was leaked, but the length alone might be used to make inferences about the contents. This issue affects TLS CBC ciphersuites as well as CBC encryption using PKCS7 or other similar padding mechanisms. In all cases, the unpadding operations were already constant time and are not affected. Reported by Maximilian Blochberger of Universität Hamburg. Fixed in 2.14.0, all prior versions affected.

Will give this a few days just to see if anything pops up and then we'll stabilise.
Looks to me like it got pushed straight to stable already.
