First, the issue was handled as responsible disclosure with the disclosure date on this week (Nov 4 actually, but it turned out to be Nov 3).

Thirdly, the patch listed above was buggy. Which we noticed on Tuesday and had to restart the update. Otherwise we would probably be ready now.
Ok, thanks for clarifying this!
