If someone can prepare a backport, please follow the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure to have Trusty updated.

All the steps documented there need to be followed. In particular, I'm concerned that we:

1) Explain the bug well enough so the SRU team (who are probably not familiar with this package) can understand the real user impact in terms of use case so they can make a decision as to whether backporting the fix to stable releases justifies the regression risk to existing, unaffected users.

2) Make sure that the fixing this in a stable Ubuntu release does not regress existing users of the module not affected by this bug (eg. other architectures or ways of consuming this module).

3) Have a test case that can be followed by someone not familiar with the package for SRU verification purposes.
