John,

The version in the PPA is now older than the version in the repository so no further testing can be done unless the changes in the PPA have now been uploaded (?).

That said, regarding electron apps, it does appear as though the .deb versions of Visual Studio Code and Element Desktop are affected. Granted, those are installed from outside the repository, but I'd contend those are applications a gigantic part of the user base depends on. In fact, for Element, that's something the Ubuntu Community will be relying on in short order.

The only workarounds for these are to install the snap versions or launch with `--no-sandbox`. In Element's case, it's maintained by a third party, so that's the only factor I can see as being problematic.
