That update appears to only patch CVE-2014-6271 and not CVE-2014-7169 ( See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8365158 )

Although 7169 appears to be more difficult to exploit than 6271, you're not out of the woods until a patch gets distributed (+applied!) that covers both CVEs.

Good catch, thanks!
