The change is about dropping support for algorithms that are no longer
considered secure so I don't think there is any CVE attached to this.

Probably not the best name but they only have a limited set of bug types
in their bugtracker.

We were affected by the regression as well but I think in the long run,
this is a relatively small price to pay to not have to carry outdated
crypto. I find the security team to be very good and conservative with
backporting security fixes but most importantly when mistakes happen,
they get fixed pretty quickly.
