Is it really a security issue? We knew all along that dicts are O(n^2) in worst case scenario, how is this suddenly a security problem?
For example Microsoft has released an extraordinary and unscheduled security patch for the issue between Christmas and New Year. I don't normally use MS as reference but this should give you a hint about the severity.
Have you watched the talk yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Cq3CLI6H8
