Hi Vincent, (In reply to Vincent Danen from comment #6) > Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2011-5268 to > the following vulnerability: > > Name: CVE-2011-5268 > URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-5268 While this both mentions CVE-2011-5268, the subject has CVE-2013-5268. Is the 2011 identifier the correct one? (assuming so as the issues in the issue tracker are from 2011). Could you clarify what is the difference for CVE-2013-4550 and this second one? Thanks in advance, Salvatore
This is indeed CVE-2011-5268 rather than CVE-2013-5268: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-5268
