Hello,

CVE-2022-3620 is documented in your database as affecting version 2022-10-18 of exim, which doesn't make much sense as there is no such version released by the exim project. See their version naming scheme by looking at their Git tags:

https://code.exim.org/exim/exim/tags

The Debian Security Tracker at
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-3620 documents that this CVE was introduced in commit 92583637b25b6bde926f9ca6be7b085e5ac8b1e6, which first appeared in the release 4.95 of exim:

$ git tag --contains 92583637b25b6bde926f9ca6be7b085e5ac8b1e6 | sort | head -1
exim-4.95

And was subsequently fixed by 12fb3842f81bcbd4a4519d5728f2d7e0e3ca1445 which first appeared in the release 4.97 of exim:

$ git tag --contains 12fb3842f81bcbd4a4519d5728f2d7e0e3ca1445 | sort | head -1
exim-4.97

Therefore, your entry CVE-2022-3620 should be updated to reflect that version 4.95 to 4.97 are affected.

Do you think you could adjust this in your database?

Thanks a lot!
