Subject: CVE-2016-0758: patch missing in 3.18 series?

Hello,

I apologize in advance in case I missed the obvious, but the patch [1]
for CVE-2016-0758 apparently hasn't made it into the 3.18 series
(checked in 3.18.44). I haven't checked other 3.10+ lines but the
changelog doesn't seem to mention it.
In contrast, CVE-2016-7117 was indeed fixed in 3.18.
Is there a particular reason for this, or did it just fall through the
cracks?

FYI, the same patch applies nicely to 3.18.44

As this is a one-time post, as a non-subscriber, I'd appreciate being
Cc'ed in your replies, thanks!
Hope this helps,
Cheers
