Correct. As far as I know:

- "Link to CVE" page needs to take full CVE name, including "CVE-" prefix
- "CVE Reference" box for bugs that have linked CVEs
- CVE page needs missing dash between "CVE" and index number (e.g. lhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/cve/2007-2951)
- CVE url paths should be valid with cve prefix too (e.g. https://LP.../bugs/cve/cve-2007-2951

Really just making the index be "CVE-YYYY-NNNN" instead of "YYYY-NNNNN" should do the trick in most cases.
