Keep in mind that many times Bugtraq and CVE will get out of sync.

CVE's are always CAN's first.  A CAN becomes a CVE only after it is
voted on to elevate it to a "bonified vulnerabiluty".  If that occurs
then CAN-xxx-xxxx becomes CVE-xxx-xxxx

Some but not all CAN will become CVE in the future.

It us also, per my understanding, if an issue is reported and it is
given a CAN but it is later found to be a duplicate issue that the
assigned CAN is scrapped.
Example:
I report a Denial of Service on Apache-x-xxx.  CAN assigned
However a Buffer Over flow was reported on Apache-x-xxx.  CAN
assigned

It is later found they are both the same vulnerability just reported
differently.  One of the above will be deleted.

In addition it is a it is a large system out there and managed by
human hands.  Errors will occur.
