Use CVE-2014-9773. We don't completely understand issues/397. We think
"This is rejected for Atheme, please consider reporting it to a
downstream fork instead" means that the vulnerability report was
originally rejected, but that decision was reconsidered many months
later.

Use CVE-2016-4478.


(Incidentally, our understanding is that this code, or at least related
code, is available in the Debian atheme-services package.)
