The vast majority of those warnings are actually false positives, not actual 
security issues. Putting my upstream hat on, if asked to "fix" such a false 
positive, I'd do one of:
(a) close the bug as INVALID/NOTABUG/WONTFIX or
(b) hardcode -Wno-error=format-security -Wno-format-security in my build 
setup and close the bug as FIXED.
