Are you sure that CVE-2017-10970 and CVE-2017-11163 are the same?

It seems to me that they have a different origin (link-php vs aggregate_graphs.php). As long as there are two CVEs assigned here we need to treat https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/issues/847 and https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/issues/838 as different issues.

If you feel confident that these issues are the same, you should contact mitre and open a dispute via https://cveform.mitre.org/

Oh, I see what you mean now :) According to upstream this second issue was also fixed with the patch for the first one.

We can close this bug then. As per upstream recommendation, please try to update cacti to 1.1.3 when it's available. Thanks!
