Sure thing, I'll add a patch as soon as I've had time to make it.

You should note that one of the patches, the one addressing:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2015/CVE-2015-6587.html

Has a couple of issues.
Basically, it removes functionality as an interim fix for the actual patch 
which is added in 1.6.13.

So, while this patch will remove that security hole, it will also in some cases 
break functionality.
This issue already exists in 12.04 of course.

To quote the openafs git repo where they reverted back from this fix:

commit fc43236872c798fe426590714d19773c74d4bbbe

    Revert "vlserver: Disable regex volume name processing in ListAttributesN2"
    
    This change reverts commit 22481ab3705522ac1988b7de038c4dbc1e5009a9 which
    by disabling regex queries of volume names breaks some backup software
    including TSM.
