Subject: tomcat CVE confusion
OpenSuSE has issued an advisory for tomcat today:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2013-08/msg00014.html
This is also linked from LWN here:
http://lwn.net/Vulnerabilities/562439/
This CVE-2013-3544 is not mentioned on tomcat's security page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/security-7.html
But CVE-2012-3544 is mentioned there (note the different year).
Based on this Novell/OpenSuSE bug report, I believe OpenSuSE made a typo:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831119
I can't find any info about CVE-2013-3544, but the mitre page says it's reserved. Perhaps that CVE has already been allocated for some other piece of software? If so, this might cause some confusion. I'm not sure how this should be handled, but I thought it would be appropriate to point this out.
