Hi,

I'm not sure it's worth spending your time on this, so please decide
for yourselves:

1. Spelling issue in CVE-2011-4612:

The CVE overview now reads:

I would think "error loc" should actually say "error log".


2. Access complexity

"Low" is correct since specialized access conditions or extenuating
circumstances do not exist and the first three examples provided at
  http://www.first.org/cvss/cvss-guide.html#i2.1.2
do apply.

Thanks,
