Description

@RamKromberg

I'm not sure how many packages actually use the old 1.2.x sdl instead of the current 2.x sdl2 package, but the 1.2.15 tarball nixpkgs is pulling is 9 years behind upstream rolling release 1.2.16 and is missing multiple backported fixes, including CVE-related patches: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL-1.2/blob/main/WhatsNew
