Probably nowhere.

I don't think it's necessary (nor good) to place any visibility
restrictions for security bugs that are 1) not FE specific and 2) have
been already disclosed in public elsewhere.  #175260 is (was?) under
investigation whether the fix needs to be revised, thus making it
potentially FE specific if the answer to that is "yes".
