Perhaps the maintainer and/or the security team overlooked them. Providing security updates for packages in Debian is still based on voluntary work. Therefore it can happen sometimes that either a security fix is overlooked or no person has committed to provide/release an updated package. The latter probably applies in this case. Can you further specify what exactly you mean by cracked? This would be interesting as even though two CVE ids are marked as unfixed in stable, none of the issues qualifies for example to execute code on a remote drupal installation.
