If there should be any patches, they would be available by the source
package.

Start with a Debian tracker search:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/horgand

It provides the Link to the Ubuntu source package:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/horgand

One patch inside the Ubuntu source package is named
"03-buffer_overflow.patch".
