One question I often have when looking at the output of `status -a`:

is "How serious and relevant are these advisories to me? How soon should
I reboot?". For the packages that I'm most familiar with, e.g. `kernel`
and `git-core`, I usually look up the advisory and check why it was
marked as a security update, mentioned CVEs, and how those affect me.
The updateinfo metadata includes a wealth of information that could be
useful here. In Fedora, CVEs treated by the security response team
result in RHBZs, which end up attached to the advisories and thus make
it into that metadata.
This patch tries to reduce friction in answering some of those questions
above by checking for those CVEs and printing a short description in the
output of `status -a`. Example:

Including the CVE name and RHBZ link also makes it easier to look for
more details if desired.
