Notes

sayun

the fix for this issue depends on SAFER infrastructure changes that were introduced after the 9.26 versions in bionic and xenial. Attempting to pull back infrastructure piecemeal runs the risk of introducing regressions; we may need to pull back 9.50 version included in focal/20.04 LTS to bionic and xenial.
