I'm sorry I checked a different commit, we're talking about
acc657692aed ("keys, dns: Fix size check of V1 server-list header")

v6.8-rc1 is out, with this commit. I see it's already prepared in stable queue
for 6.7 by Sasha [1] and somebody already asked to add it to 6.1 and 6.6, where
it's needed (I verified test fails without it).

I guess we can merge now to get it to the upcoming release.

Kind regards,
Petr
