Could you please check it if you want to do source unpacking twice? -a1 will do source untar and then below again tar -xf %{SOURCE1} is done which will do decompress again. You may check and remove below one in case not needed. If that is not the case, then your CVE changes will be overwritten by below tar -xf, you may need to apply patch properly.

No plans to currently refresh the sources of this package. We should proceed with the PR fix, ensuring we do end-to-end testing. :)
