This deserves more elaboration.

Instead of saying previously - talk about what it currently does and the 
precise circumstances under which it goes wrong. Try to make the 
description as plain and concise as possible.

I don't think you need to tell us what's not touched in your commit log.

- Tell us what is wrong directly and plainly.
   Include how the bug you are fixing can come about i.e. under what
   circumstances we would see the error.

- Then tell us how you've fixed it.

- And include a Fixes: tag please.
   Since this is a bug fix you are proposing, it needs to be backported.
