I don't think I understand your question.

You shouldn't need a patch if you are using the SECURITY log. The thread
above is suggesting patching the source code to hijack a WARNING message
for the purposes of tracing security information; my point is that you
should have a specific SECURITY log message that already serves that
purpose.
