This is what I am using to generate links for the references in my database:

        urlmap = { 'CVE' : 'http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=%s',
                   'debbugs' : 'http://bugs.debian.org/%s',
                   'BUGTRAQID' : 'http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/%s',
                   'DSA' : 'http://www.debian.org/security/dsa-%s',
                   'CERT-CA' : 'http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-%s.html',
                   'CERT-VU' : 'http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/%s',
                   'RHSA' : 'http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-%s.html' }

The DSA one is obviously broken, but unfortunately it is more or less
impossible to generate a correct URL given the DSA number.
