3.1 is not supported. We try and support 3.5.1, but this is difficult
since it can take significant developer time and effort to fix a
problem (often it is MUCH more difficult than fixing in 4.x).

Someone may give you an unofficial patch if you are lucky, but
otherwise you're out of luck. There have been a lot of other
significant security problems fixed since 3.1 anyway.
