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...
