Hi Redhat Security,

could you have a look and update the entry for CVE-2023-1192, if you agree that CVE-2023-52572 is a duplicate and the referenced patch for CVE-2023-1192 is incorrect ?

Thanks,
Robert

Hi all,

this seems to be a duplicate of CVE-2023-1192 [0], even though NVD lists
another, wrong patch. The RH bug has more details [1].

Cheers,

That's a mess. Please have RH update the json entry with CVE with the
correct git commit id and then I'll be glad to revoke this. The
information in NVD is not "real" from the point of view of the CVE
database, so I can't take information there as being correct, or not.
As you know, NVD is just an add-on for CVE entries, one of many created
by many different groups/governments.

Until it's fixed in the CVE database, this CVE should stand as it refers
to the correct fix that people need to know about, not the incorrect one
in the RH-assigned CVE.

thanks,
