Mhm. Not a lot of information in this bug report :)

Anyway, 1.024-1 has been uploaded. Do you happen to know if this
changes anything?

Sorry, I didn't want to provide info that could be used to
aid attackers.

Upstream and security@debian.org are aware of the problem
but have not yet acted.

If you have access to security@debian.org archives, see
<20201025102450.byceuhbphom4gnkj@pali> for fix + discussion.

Nope.  Fwiw, I'm burned out from life + pandemic and
pali@cpan.org has been trying to work with upstream on this.

Anyways thanks for your response and all you do for Debian!
