The changelog in question is:

  * New upstream release
  * CVEs
    - CVE-2024-21011
    - CVE-2024-21085
    - CVE-2024-21068
    - CVE-2024-21094
  * Security fixes
[…]

I find this a little opinionated anyway, but here not quite
appropriate as the changelog “line” spans more than a physical
line. Maybe, if you won’t consider the space until the next
/^  \* / a “line”, then at least exclude itemisations from that tag?

would it make a difference if the somewhat ambiguous line "CVEs" was changed to "Fixes the following CVEs:" ?
