CVE 2017-2824 patch not yet applied?

[Vladislav Naumov]

I see patch was applied to Debian almost 2 months ago:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-2824

but still not in Ubuntu for some reason:

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with upstream and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package. See the following link for more information: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and make Ubuntu better.

I added a link to CVE using the button on the right. I also took a look at the Debian bug report, and it looks like this should be fixed in the version synced in Ubuntu Artful. It is, presumably, of course still affecting older releases.
