I've just finished a run to update Red Hat security advisories from
CAN- to CVE- names, 180 advisories were updated.
In security advisories we include references to the MITE Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures dictionary for each vulnerability,
you'll see us link to names like CAN-2004-0111. The CAN- prefix shows
that the entry is a candidate that has been proposed for inclusion in
the dictionary. From time to time the editorial board (of which Red
Hat is a member) votes on the candidates and the ones that pass get
promoted to full CVE- prefixes, but only the prefix changes. In the
recent round of voting I accepted or modified 145 entries. Yesterday
the CVE project promoted 480 CAN names to CVE names. We've updated
our mappings so that if you look on the Red Hat Network or online at
our advisory texts you'll see reference to the promoted names. We've
not gone through and altered the text, or are we likely to, so you
might still see texts refer to CAN-2004-0111 for example, but all the
links are magically updated to CVE-2004-0111.
