CVE-2023-27536

Announced by the #curl project back in March 2023. We deem it severity Low. curl.se/docs/CVE-2023-27536.ht…

NVD, in their infinite wisdom, thinks this is a CRITICAL 9.8 flaw: nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2…

I wish I knew how to fix this annoying problem but talking or whining to NVD certainly does not seem to help.

100% agreed that the CVSS scoring system and "assume the worst" guidance makes for scores that do not accurately reflect importance. Especially for very broad-use things.

My take on this is that. like it or not, more open source projects of note need to become "CNA" (certificate numbering authorities) of their own which I understand can given them some control over the content of CVEs filed against their project. cve.org/ProgramOrganization/CN…
