Yes, it’s inconsistency on our side but still in CPE field. Current CVE status option do not offer better selection.
My commit message explains why I have chosen the way to ignore it although it will be in the recipe forever (as version 2023-11-16 will be always higher than PV)
But I can also resubmit with changing CVE_PRODUCT to "gnu:zlib zlib:zlib" if that is the preferred option to go forward.
