as said by someone above if you cant wait or you want it fixed
right away please provide a patch to fix it. If you can not
fix it yourself or choose not to than it has to wait for
someone to patch it.

Since you saw this on other versions of Linux most likely is
due to upstream, please ask them to fix it if you can not
