Use CVE-2016-5118.

If there was a previous announcement of a vulnerability fix for a
subset of the exploitation methodologies, then a separate CVE ID is
also needed. The scope of CVE-2016-5118 is only the new "initial |
character" information announced in the
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/05/29/7 post.

(For example, if there had previously been any type of announcement
that the

  xlink:href="|

substring was being blocked in the native SVG readers, then that can
have its own unique CVE ID.)
