Can you add a link to the MITRE page for this CVE (and any other pages
you think are relevant) and to the source of this patch?

Check 'gnu/packages/patches/wget-CVE-2017-6508.patch' for an example if
you are unsure.

There is also CVE-2017-10789. I'm not sure if there is a fix merged
upstream yet:
