I agree with others that this is not a good idea.

If a feature has a severe security flaw like that, then we should not
document that security flaw prominently, it might give ideas to people
who had not noticed.ยน The feature should be just disabled until it is
fixed; and if fixing it is not possible because the security flaw is
inherent then the feature should just be dropped, possibly to be
replaced by a completely different approach.

Same goes for patch #2 in this series.

1: For the same reason, I have always refrained from explaining how to
legally ship GPL ffmpeg with a proprietary binary.
