Hi,

I'm working with Debian OVAL feeds (the ones in
https://www.debian.org/security/oval/)
A lot of definitions have a criterion saying that the version is "earlier
than 0", e.g.

<criterion comment="sendmail DPKG is earlier than 0"
test_ref="oval:org.debian.oval:tst:5"/>

What's the meaning of this version, that it's not addressed yet? If so, I
find some discrepancies, e.g. in the Jessie feed we have sendmail
CVE-1999-1580 with that version. If we check in the security tracker -
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-1999-1580 it says that the
status for Jessie is "fixed" for version "8.14.4-8+deb8u2". However some
having that version are actually tracked as "vulnerable" in the security
tracker.
Is this expected? What would the recommendation for handling these be?

Thanks,
Lyubo
