    You can send him the patch. It appears you cannot tell him which
    vulnerability it fixes.

    That is, unless the 'code = speech' people have succeded in setting enough
    precedent, in which case even 'code' may become a 'circumvention device'!

    I am not a lawyer though, but at this point logic seems so far away that
    anything appears possible.
