There is no security problem here. The user is allowed to choose either
v1 or v3. Using a double read race condition to choose v1 is not
going to cause problems. It's slightly more complicated than just
choosing it directly but that doesn't make it a security issue.

It's a bit like typing with your feet in that just because using your
toes instead of your fingergs is more complicated, it doesn't make it a
security issue.
