The vulnerability is listed as only being in versions of libvorbis
prior to 1.0.  I thought the only reason for bug 482039 was to provide
some insurance against discovery of possible future vulnerabilities.

Do I understand correctly?  If so, I think there is little reason to
bother the security team.  If there are actual known vulnerabilities,
of course that is a different matter.
