See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61798

You will find a list of what components each patch affects, along with the CVE ID. Heck, they even give credit to the discoverers of each exploit. While I can't say for sure that they have never snuck patches in for unrelated issues, I've found it a worthwhile resource.
