I'm a bit against it doing any further change to the text for
DSA-3659. The DSA was for the CVEs included in the 3.16.36-1+deb8u1,
3.16.36-1 was back then already accepted for the next point release
and the fix is in the 3.16.36-1 part of the upload, not in the
3.16.36-1+deb8u1 upload for DSA-3659.

I hope though the direct link to the CVE, as
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-7117 is helpfull
enough.

Thanks though for the comment!

Regards,
Salvatore
