all versions are affected.

well.
to be possibly out of sync because of these bugs,
you have to have had a primary crash _and_ bad luck.
though the bad luck was not too unlikely, unfortunately.
so, if you feel like it, you can trigger a full sync.
("fell like it": you had at any time a primary crash;
or you just want to be sure)
then upgrade normally, i.e.
upgrade the now secondary [nodeA],
reconnect, automatic incremental sync, failover,
upgrade the former primary [nodeB],
reconnect automatic incremental sync.
