Not sure if this is a related breakage: All 6 GLSA's from August are missing from the News & Announcements.

I think that is a different problem.

This bug is due to the bbcode parser not liking the first linebreak in the GLSA uri tags.

Changing 

<uri link="http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2009-3553">
 CVE-2009-3553
</uri>

to 

<uri link="http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2009-3553">CVE-2009-3553</uri>

in the GLSA would make the bbcode parser happy.

GLSAs are limited to a standard 80 column maximum. 

Is there any way to adjust the bbcode parser to ignore the linebreak?

Distinct breakage, somehow or other a bad identifier was listed for the most recently posted GLSA, with that fixed it seems to be working normally again.

There is, and it is live, working and committed.
