Looks like it is:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-bundle.git/commit/?id=7a36dbece35a307675f396a019dccf6e431efb44

That build corresponds to a branch which includes the commit that
supposedly fixed bug 1246093, and this commit was only pushed less than
48 hours ago.

NOTE: Torbutton's security slider at level "High" says "Some font rendering
features are disabled" and "[...] The Graphite font rendering mechanism
is disabled."  It would be good to know if this prevents the
vulnerability.
