If such an information will ever be integrated into a final commit message,
I would prefer a wording variant like the following.

   Two issues were pointed out by an internal source code analysis tool:
   * Line …:
     Memory leak: data

   * Line …:
     Resource leak: fd


Each of these issues has got a different importance for this function implementation.

How do you think about to replace the @ characters by other delimiters
for the relevant identifiers?

Regards,
Markus
