Normally, we only announce on Tuesday through Thursday. In the case of the two announced yesterday (Friday), these were issues fixed a good while ago in the open so we were just now catching up and labeling them properly.
indeed, they were fixed a while ago. It just required a mini fire-drill to verify that, and ensure the packages we are using in our deployments indeed had the fixes in. As you point out, the original problem report didn't have a CVE designation assigned, so the relevant commit messages and standard security tracking mechanisms didn't indicate the fixes are included. A fun way to spend a friday afternoon. IIRC, per security process packages/distributors are notified before the CVE's are made public. It would be a great fire-drill extinguisher if the CVE announcement provided a link to a centralized location (for the CVE) where packages maintainers could update the distribution information.
