We act on actual security issues that are found and resolved, not blanket FUD statements.

As such, nothing to do for us at this time. Should any specific issues appear, report these issues. Should the software no longer be fetchable due to upstream taking it down, file a bug for the maintainer.

Re-assigning to maintainer to avoid future noise on security@.
