Unfortunately it is an intentional arrangement that the CHANGES in the release
tarball doesn't have vulnerability entries for the current release.

It is a side effect of ASF security policies/workflows. To get into the
included CHANGES file on time, the vulnerabilities would become even more
visible/public before the voting begins, which may drag on for quite some time
in the event of problems. ref https://www.apache.org/security/committers.html
