I'm a bit curious too so I had a look for some more information.  The 
ChangeLog says this

*evolution-2.0.2-r1 (23 Jan 2005)

  23 Jan 2005; Mike Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  +files/evolution-2-CAN-2005-0102.patch, +evolution-2.0.2-r1.ebuild,
  +evolution-2.0.3-r1.ebuild:
  New revisions for 2.0.2 and 2.0.3, including CAN-2005-0102 patch. See bug
  #79183

So there is the reference to CAN-2005-0102, which is the problem that the 
patch is meant to fix.  I don't know if this is the only, or even best, place 
to find this information, but Google helped me find this

http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0102

Which says

** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or 
individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the 
candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be 
provided.

Yes, for now at least.
