I just want to make sure my guess is right. We don't have 1.3.2-maint
branch, so it wasn't back-ported there. Does that mean we will never
need such branch, hence we're fine; or does it mean that we should add a
branch for the CVE fix just in case someone wants to back-port other fix
to 1.3.2 and creates it -- so that it is not vulnerable?
My guess is that we won't have 1.3.2 but we should rather be safe...
I simply applied to all branches listed in origin. Yes, we should really
create a 1.3.2 branch, and any other missing branches, so we can get the
security fixes on all branches.
IMHO, we should switch to creating the -maint branch at time of each
release,instead of waiting until we need it.

Daniel
