DatabaseHandler Broken in 4.1.4

I know there's another post in here about this but I can't seem to ascertain the result.
There is an identified bug in the DatabaseHandler for the session library, and it's based on changes that were addressed here: https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/pull/4876
However, I see these changes have been merged into a 4.2 repo. Yet it's breaking the current application. Can we expect this to be fixed in a 4.1.5 or some way of hotfixing right now when using Composer? This is something I rely on and seems like a very important core bit of the system that should be working.
