The P3 version on updates is actually P4 (or, to put it differently, P4
is P3 with an extra patch we applied in P3 already).
P5 doesn't change anything related to security, so it wasn't necessary to
release an update.
If you want P5, get it from rawhide or 6.2beta.

It is patched. If there is an NXT exploit for this version, it's a new
one.
