Hmmmm... but CVE-1999-0710 lists REDHAT:RHSA-1999:025 as an advisor, so it
had been fixed at *some* point in the past.  That means that this is
either (1) a regression or (2) an improper application of an old CVE to a
similar issue or variant, which sometimes happens.

Either way, time for an email :)
