The patch proposed by the Shibboleth developers is simple enough and would appear to apply to earlier versions. Indeed, the bug has already been patched in Debian stretch (2.6.0+dfsg1-4+deb9u1) and jessie (2.5.3+dfsg-2+deb8u1) which appear to be the original packages from which these derive. The Debian bug report is at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881857

Having spent most of my career working with FreeBSD (which has a completely different package model), I'm not confident in my understanding of the relationship between Debian and Ubuntu or of my ability to adequately deal with repackaging this.
