I don't think we should update a release last issued 5 years ago - so no 2.18.3.

It also seems that a security problem with no reported problems actually 
happening in 5 years can be so serious to warrant rushing out a new release?

The problem is known, it is published how to exploit the problem, and it is 
really easy to write an exploit.
I really think the problem is severe enough to justify a lilypond 2.18.3 
release.

stable/2.18 does not build on my openSuSE Tumbleweed system without a few 
patches, see issues #4814 and #4965.
Even with those patches make doc fails, but an easy fix is to default 
gs_load_fonts to true:

   diff --git a/scm/lily.scm b/scm/lily.scm
   index 9b0a6d2aad..5f565d8c07 100644
