Same here, I get it only on some refreshes, otherwise it shows "no advisories". I hope that's not the main path these things are disseminated normally.

This thing is probably getting 10,000+% normal traffic, database is timing out on some queries, and it represents no answer as no notice.

That would be a pretty concerning way of handling database failures, but I suspect you might be right.
