CVE mistake in libsoup release notes

Upstream mistakenly used the wrong CVE name in the recent libsoup releases. They should have used CVE-2011-2524, but used CVE-2011-2054 instead. I don't know who's pool CVE-2011-2054 might be in, but I would recommend rejecting that CVE name and duping it against CVE-2011-2524. I've seen both Gentoo and Novell reference the wrong CVE name in bugzilla entries, so I thought I should bring this up. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720509#c15 and it's follow-up comment from upstream (they've made the appropriate changes in git now to reflect the correct CVE name). So CVE-2011-2524 is the correct CVE, and CVE-2011-2054 is the _wrong_ CVE. Thanks. --Vincent Danen / Red Hat Security Response Team
