Python 2.7.9 is now in the Proposed for Ubuntu Vivid. My guess is that
they are rebuilding/checking libraries and applications to verify they
are still working as expected with the newer version, before pushing it
to the main archives.

As for backporting to older releases I don't know, but it should be
possible to add a request once the package has landed in Vivid.

Not familiar with the CVEs, but if possible those should maybe be
patched for older releases as well.
