Thanks a lot!

In the future: it is fine for me if you send <pkg>_IGNORE_CVES entries
as long as an e-mail to fix the NVD database is also sent. It's a bit
like having the patch locally and upstreaming the fix. Once the fix is
upstreamed (NVD database is fixed), the <pkg>_IGNORE_CVES entry can be
dropped. And if we forget to drop it, the CVE checker tool in
Buildroot is supposed to tell us: "you have a <pkg>_IGNORE_CVES entry
for CVE-YYYY-ABCABC but this CVE isn't affecting the version of the
package in Buildroot", which is a hint that the entry is stale.

Best regards,

Thomas
