vlc CVE-2011-0531 not fixed, not tracked?

Asked by gialdo

The package "vlc" in the currently supported stable versions of Ubuntu is vulnerable
http://www.videolan.org/security/sa1102.html
It's been fixed upstream on February 1, as of today, Feb 6, no fix has been pushed into the repos.

The CVE isn't tracked here:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/vlc.html

I suppose the maintainers are well aware of these facts and working on a backport but the CVE tracker is pretty useless right now and I don't know if and how this is taken care of.

If I'm not mistaken I should be able to see the "proposed" package before it hits universe here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/vlc/+builds

Sorry if this is the wrong approach or if I'm missing something obvious. I'm not very familiar with launchpad but that's why I'm here and asking.
