Comment 6 for bug 920020

Right, they are still open. 1.8.4.4 is a nice release, it has it's issues however for each release moving forward something new / different breaks. Precise being a 5 year support is not much of an issue at this point, regardless of the regressions found we would need to backport them eventually.

Regarding the CVE's you have referenced, yes. They would need to be backported into other releases. I plan to open up a security issue for them shortly.
