Hello Antoine,

Nothing really new in those 10 security advisories, I think one thing that 
could be a benefit could be to assign a unique numeric identifier to each 
sec advisory.

As openssh showed this week this could be good to minimize risks of 
regressions by favoring methodic screen of old vulnerabilities at review of 
new changes.

On the security researcher / handler-side, having unique numeric 
identifiers make it also easier to coordinate mitigation patches 
development and deployment.

Best,
Antoine (the other one).
