I honestly think this is as much of a developer issue as a tester issue.  If
the CVE fix was to silently change the API/ABI of the library, that's on
either upstream or downstream, depending on where the fix came from.  Yes,
you'd like testers to catch that, but it's the sort of update that ideally
doesn't happen to begin with.
