Comments
Christey> There is some overlap between CVE-2001-0551 and CVE-2001-0772. | CVE-2001-0551 describes a specific vulnerability in | dtprintinfo. HP acknowledges CVE-2001-0551 by stating | that the problem is fixed in HP:HPSBUX0105-151, which | is CVE-2001-0772. But CVE-2001-0772 is a vague advisory | that identifies other vulnerabilities (and vulnerability | types) besides CVE-2001-0551. Perhaps CVE-2001-0772 should | be RECAST to "remove" the reference to dtprintinfo and | leave the other vague descriptions. CVE-2001-0772 and | CVE-2001-0551 are very good examples of the problems that | CVE faces in being consistent with respect to the level of | abstraction, as documented in the CD:SF-CODEBASE, CD:SF-LOC, | and CD:VAGUE content decisions.
