But CVE-2000-0006 is specific to this strace, not another strace.

Quoting from the original reference (https://web.archive.org/web/20030710214947/http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/39831):

“””
When you see snippet from strace, that says:

open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 3

Do you trust it? You should not.
“””

You may disagree with the premise of the CVE and mark it as not an issue, but it _is_ a strace CVE.
