Hi

I see ther Alias was corrected from CVE-2019-17196 to the correct CVE (CVE-2018-17196). But I noticed as per (2019-07-26 07:13 UTC) the cve-metadata from bugzilla XML file at https://www.redhat.com/security/data/metrics/cve-metadata-from-bugzilla.xml still contains the 2019 CVE.

Could you check if maybe some update to the file is missing?

Regards,
Salvatore
