NOTE: a potential weakness in the is_mesh function was also addressed, but the relevant condition did not exist in the code, so it is not a vulnerability.","title":"Description of the CVE"},{"category":"legal_disclaimer","text":"CSAF 2.0 data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0).","title":"Terms of use"}],"publisher":{"category":"vendor","contact_details":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/contact/","name":"SUSE Product Security Team","namespace":"https://www.suse.com/"},"references":[{"category":"external","summary":"CVE-2009-2844","url":"https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2009-2844"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Security Ratings","url":"https://www.suse.com/support/security/rating/"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Bug 532438 for CVE-2009-2844","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/532438"},{"category":"external","summary":"SUSE Bug 536466 for CVE-2009-2844","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/536466"}],"title":"SUSE CVE CVE-2009-2844","tracking":{"current_release_date":"2023-02-15T06:03:03Z","generator":{"date":"2023-02-15T06:03:03Z","engine":{"name":"cve-database.git:bin/generate-csaf-vex.pl","version":"1"}},"id":"CVE-2009-2844","initial_release_date":"2023-02-15T06:03:03Z","revision_history":[{"date":"2023-02-15T06:03:03Z","number":"2","summary":"Current version"}],"status":"interim","version":"2"}}}
