Subject: Re: Qt SSL endless loop
Just to close this up. I have actually preserved CVE-2010-2621 and have
marked CVE-2010-2533 as a duplicate, which is contrary to what Vincent
said.
MITRE is ultimately the authority on which CVE should be rejected when
duplicates arise. See
http://cve.mitre.org/cve/editorial_policies/duplicates.html for the
criteria that I generally follow (every once in a while, a behemoth
"authoritative source" wins, though generally there is an expectation that
their ID will become more ubiquitous in the future anyway.)
