I've talked it with aballier, and reported at upstream trac (since it has been a pain to get hold of xiph guys by other means)

Maybe I should have included a bit more information, but this was not meant to be made public yet (see first sentence in description and CONFIDENTIAL in status whiteboard), even though this was more of a semi-public but a confidential bug.
BTW Maintainers have been contacted by oCERT a few days ago afaik.

http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/coordinator_guide.xml#doc_chap4 has the details on handling confidential vulnerabilites.

This will fixed with the speex update in bug 217715, keeping open until the GLSA has been released.

speex has been sent as GLSA 200804-17, this also fixes this bug.
