I should first point out that it's very unlikely that an AGPL-specific
update will be required. For one reason, there're only two paragraphs of
AGPL-specific text. For another, at a guess (barring major changes in
technology usage which might make the AGPL a really good idea), the AGPL
will only be used by a handful of projects.
But, in this very unlikely event, if the harm is worth the effort, FSF can
start working on a GPLv4 or 3.1.
(And knowing that FSF will update the licences if any exploits are found
decreases the value of looking for exploits.)
