This isn't a big deal at the moment, but I'm thinking about establishing 
a best practice going forward to document security-related fixes. The 
CVE number is regarded as the universal identifier, so something like 
the following is preferred:

* Addresses CVE-2011-0002

The important thing is to include the CVE identifier(s) somewhere in the 
commit log - I may end up developing some tools for extracting that 
information from our commits in the future.

Just FYI for now - this isn't documented anywhere yet.

Thanks,

Scott
