the patch wouldn't resolve the problem but there is a PR already open: #2748

The patch that was applied here does fix the problem and has been released with v0.39.1. Because this patch is backported scanning tools that only look to module versions may incorrectly report it as not fixed. #2748 will be followed by a v0.40.0 release that will allow scanning tools that only look to module versions to correctly report it as fixed.

I'd also like to take this time to remind everyone that reporting security concerns through public issues is not in alignment with our security policy or general best practices.
