I'm not aware of any. The upstream announcement is at
https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=447065&group_id=103


I forgot also:

 - Format string vulnerability, but not exploitable. CVE-2006-2191. I
   mention it only because it got a CVE number assigned, but as it is
   not exploitable, it is fair to say it is _not_ a security hole.
