I think the former is correct but still bit biased. We initially had
exactly CVE-2023-40462 as NFU and CVE-2023-34194 for tinyxml. I have
now commmited
https://salsa.debian.org/security-tracker-team/security-tracker/-/commit/7e507c932b999df48f808969c00f07a638e3357b
hich does match my understanding for this doubled CVE assignment. The
document is actually not very very clear. It still metnions
CVE-2023-40462 but does not consistently say "TinyXML as used in".
Still hope we can agree the above matches our all udnerstanding.
Moritz given you updated back then the entry from NFU and tinyxml, if
you still strongly disagree I will revert the above, but I tried to
explain my reasoning in the commit message.

Now for CVE-2023-40458 I'm  not sure. Looking back at the references
for CVE-2021-42260 and the issue report at
https://sourceforge.net/p/tinyxml/bugs/141/ this sensibly match the
description for CVE-2023-40458, but will want to see if Moritz has an
additional input here.

If this is the case we either have the otpion to mark it really as
duplicate (and request a reject from MITRE) or it is again just a
ALEOS issue "... tinyxml as used in". Again the table here is not very
clear in the report, for the CVE-2023-34194 and CVE-2023-40462 there
were explicitly listed the two CVEs with brackeds including the
product in the the table, but this is not the case for CVE-2023-40458.

Moritz?

Salvatore
