If all the "security bugs" are highlighted in that changelog, would you mind explaining how?

Maybe you think that's what the red text is for? Sorry, poor reading comprehension again. The
red text just identifies issues for which OpenBSD provides a hand rolled patch. They don't
recommend that you actually just apply these patches, like Linux they provide a stable branch
with various fixes that have (or in some cases might have) security implications, as well as
other changes, but not new features.
