Actually, we have rejected CVE-2015-5196 and are keeping CVE-2015-7703.
This is a case where we have a long-standing published policy (see the
http://cve.mitre.org/cve/editorial_policies/duplicates.html page) and
our implementation of step 1 chose CVE-2015-7703.
We will update our internal documentation for CVE assignments to
further emphasize the possibility that a CVE ID may have already been
assigned outside of MITRE, to try to avoid this type of unfortunate
situation in the future.
