Hi Aaron,
yeah this will be needed throughout all releases with affected versions.
We can't just pick a few or an upgrade e.g. from Xenial to Yakkety would be a regression.
The first step is to push it to Artful and for that it is fine already.

A backport seems possible, just someone needs the cycles to do so.
I understand you marked it as security which is correct, but not as in needs to be done yesterday.
That said it will compete with the other bugs in the queue to be handled.

If you would want to volunteer to help with that there are a few things to do here.
First of all we need a proper SRU Template [1] at the top of the description - and especially some detailed steps how to test and verify would help the SRU process int this case.
Furthermore we founded the Ubuntu Server Bug Squashing Day [2], and if instead of waiting you always wanted to learn to package such fixes to drive this even more - feel free to catch us there (or at any time in general).
