According to that page this affects only versions 13 and 14, and only

Currently there's 0.12.1 in Debian, and without TLS support.  You

I have tried to convince the maintainers to keep up with upstream for
several months now, without success.  NMU of upstream version 15 to
delayed/7 will follow within the next hours.
