CVE-2016-9598 was assigned for incomplete fix of CVE-2016-4483, however that was closed as duplicate of CVE-2016-3627. That actually makes this CVE a duplicate of CVE-2016-9596 since that one was assigned for incomplete fix of CVE-2016-3627.

Hence I suggest to close this one as duplicate of CVE-2016-9596. Would that work for you?

Comment 8 Tomas Hoger 2017-02-23 17:27:23 UTC
This CVE id is for the same issue as CVE-2016-4483  (bug 1332820).  This additional CVE was assigned because the original issue was listed as fixed in RHSA-2016:2957 for the Red Hat JBoss Core Services:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2957.html

However, that erratum actually failed to include the fix for the issue.

Therefore, this new CVE is specific to the Red Hat JBoss Core Services product and is better described as: missing/incorrect fix for CVE-2016-4483  in the Red Hat JBoss Core Services.
