Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for this package.

The patch linked above is identical to the patch for CVE-2016-8698 that is already in both cauldron and mga5. Moveover, I don't see any sign of 1.15 on either the author's website or his sourceforge location. I don't see anything to do unless we want/need to rename the patch to account for the new CVE number for some reason.
