We are supposed to have reference to the CVE identifier both in

Wiki https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Security.
If a patch address multiple CVEs, perhaps we should name the patch:
Fix-for-multiple-CVEs.patch and list all CVEs in the patch file.
Will this not solve the problem? Do you think there is still need
for a new tag "CVE"?
I'd say a new tag is essential if we want to automate tooling, to
reduce the chance of false-positives from simply searching the patch
for something that looks like a CVE reference.

The conclusion of this thread is to add the tag "CVE" to the metadata of
submitted CVE patches. I will edit the wiki to show this requirement.
