For security bumps we normally DO list the CVEs for ease of use, E.G.:

    wireshark: security bump to version 2.2.12

    Fixes the following security issues:

    CVE-2017-17997: MRDISC dissector crash
    https://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2018-02.html

    CVE-2018-5334: IxVeriWave file parser crash

    For more information, see the release notes:

    While we are at it, also add as hash for license file.

So I prefer to do that as well here.
