hi Jonas

Thanks for fixing CVE-2017-7207 in unstable. Can you ask as well
release team for an unblock, so that the fix goes to stretch?

Btw, there was a wrong bug closer for this bug (using the upstream bug
number instead), thus closed this one manually.

Regards,
Salvatore

Ah, that's what happened.  I did notice your closing the bug I believed 
to already be closed.  Sorry for that!
