Considering that it's been "fixed", I thought a CVE might be useful to
trigger distros to include the patch.  Without a CVE, distros like
Debian and RedHat will keep using the unpatched version, which is a
shame if such an easy fix is available.

Considering so many of the other example filters have the same
problem, I don't think this will buy much. However, after I revamp the
example filters into a nice "one stop" solution for lots of filetypes,
we can start promoting that various places for its security benefits.
