Bug Description

Issue has CVE 2020-14929
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/cve/2020-14929
A newer upstream package version has fixed this issue in more recent Ubuntu releases, but this issue is not resolved in the older releases, including the current LTS release (focal).
The easiest fix is probably just rebuilding and releasing one of the newer versions to all currently supported Ubuntu versions.
