This is probably a good idea. I was reluctant to suggest it from the get-go
because there is no mention to security updates in the release notes, but
the unaligned memory access will cause crashes, which on could argue can be
exploited for DoS attacks 🤔. Also, it's a point release so the API/ABI of
the library remains the same, and the risk of breaking things is minimal.

So yes, I think it's a good idea to backport the update to the LTS version.
