Yes, which means that jethro (which has 2.8.5) needs the same update.

Generally, this manual check for vulnerabilities is error-prone and 
doesn't scale. We really should automate cve checks (using 
cve-check-tool or something similar) when doing package builds, I'll try 
to look if it's feasible. There's been an open bug for a long time:
