Lennart pointed out in the upstream pull request that systemd-resolved is respawned after crashing. Therefore, Ubuntu Security considers this security issue to be a low priority. To reduce the risk of regressions in security updates, our general rule is to only perform security updates that fix a medium or higher issue or wait until around five low issues have accumulated. The fix is simple and low risk but there's always inherent risk in building/publishing/installing new binaries. We'll include the fix in a future security update if there are new issues discovered in systemd.
