... from <http://cve.mitre.org/>:
"Beginning October 19, 2005, the CVE List numbering scheme will
undergo a one-time-only modification to replace the 'CAN' prefix
with a 'CVE' prefix in CVE names.
"The new numbering scheme will have the CVE prefix from the outset
followed by 8 numerals (e.g., CVE-1999-0067) and a status line
designating whether the name has Entry, Candidate, or Deprecated
status. Each CVE name will continue to include a brief description
and references.
"Previously assigned CVE numbers will remain the same except for
the prefix being updated and the addition of the status, e.g.,
CAN-2005-0386 will be changed to CVE-2005-0386 with 'Candidate'
status.
"Links to CANs in older security advisories will be redirected on
the CVE Web site to pages with the appropriate renumbered names."
