I'm not sure if this should get a new CVE id but the versions in the CVE id description should be adjusted and the upstream patch revised.
This looks like even though there was a source code modification, the previous issue was not fixed at all. That is, any attack that would have worked before the fix, will still work after the fix. However, Fedora FEDORA-2009-3383 at least claims a fix for CVE-2009-0840, so a new CVE is probably in order to "signal" to admins that they have another issue to handle. Use CVE-2009-2281 for the "new" issue. What versions are affected by this? - Steve
