I agree with you. I think this vulnerability should be fixed quickly,
so it should be applied directly to the next rc version, not the
next tree. However, this vulnerability does not affect the stable 
version, so I think it is appropriate to move this patch to the
mm-hotfixes-unstable tree.

What do you think, Andrew?
