To start, we can almost certainly switch this report to Public Security and skip the embargo since the potential risk is already mentioned in the meeting log (and even called out as a possible security vulnerability). There doesn't seem to be much novel in this report which an interested attacker couldn't easily work out from the public discussion and a quick skim through the source code.

As for whether we issue an advisory, I think this will mostly boil down to whether there's a safe way to "fix" it in supported stable branches, or if this will need to be paired with some configuration to actually tune and enable the mitigation.
