We reissued a new security update with the old CVE, as no decision on a
SPLIT was reached in time.

I believe that the CVE description should be updated ("before version
3.1.6" instead of "before version 3.1.5").

Please check out the Open Source Software Security Wiki, which is counterpart to this mailing list.
