Ideally those should be fixed too. The packages in need of an update are 
listed in the Ubuntu Security Tracker:

  
https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-9839.html

If you want to prepare those updates, please do. You can use the patch 
from the wheezy package for precise, the patch from the jessie package 
for trusty, and will need to extract the patch from git for mapserver 
7.0 in xenial & yakkety. zesty should get fixed automatically when they 
sync 7.0.3 from unstable.

Kind Regards,

Bas
