So I just had a quick look at this this morning and yes, it seems the
dccp patch wasn't included in 4.4.50 but rather in 4.4.51, so have
submitted a build for the generic kernel (I'll push it to testing repo
when built).
For raspberrypi, nothing (yet) rebased (upstream) to 4.4.51, but otoh it
seems that they have now switched to newer LTS 4.9.x version.

For that CVE, I'd consider just bumping to 4.4.51 , but investigating
having a rebase to 4.9.x (also LTS) seems a good option, but that has to
be tested too
