  Are there some patches to come yet wrt to Perl's CPAN CGI-Simple module
and those two CVE ids yet?

Yes, this one. It is not currently applied in the master branch yet:

https://github.com/markstos/CGI--Simple/commit/e811ab874a5e0ac8a99e76b645a0e537d8f714da

I can see latest CGi-Simple-v113 released on Monday, 27-th December 2010:
[1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Simple/

Does it contain fixes for both CVE issues (so it is possible to rebase
to new
version) or anything else to be done in this part of the world yet?

It contains only a partial fix, mirroring what happened with CGI.pm.

Is the fix, we were waiting for on the CGI-Simple side:

https://github.com/AndyA/CGI--Simple/commit/5a861280ef524661105e132536ff7d1a9084941f

That's not it, that's separate.

Lincoln is the primary maintainer of CGI.pm, but I have upload rights.
However, we haven't heard from recently. A week ago I asked again for
his input and notified him that I would upload a new release myself I
hadn't heard from him in another week. That time has come now-- I will
plan to upload a new release of CGI.pm in the next 24 hours.
