No, that's an unrelated fix in the htaccess code that was incorrectly
denying access with certain policies (so not a security bug, just a bug).

The cert name fix for 2.x is this: 
http://svn.middleware.georgetown.edu/view/cpp-xmltooling?view=rev&revision=6
06

That particular fix is in xmltooling.

For the old 1.3 series, it's elsewhere, do you need that also?

If you tell me which fixes you want the patches for I can probably identify
them all, but in general you can use the issues list in Jira and link to the
"Fix for Version" lists to see the fixed issues and usually they'll link to
the svn rev that shows the diff.

There were two security issues formally identified for the 2.2.1 release,
though the other one is less serious. That one is addressed by these bugs:

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/CPPXT-34
https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/CPPOST-28
