I see, and everything seems to be correct.

I usually check single CVE tracker pages, as well.
In this specific case, I just wondered why the link between this CVE
and the corresponding DSA was missing on the tracker: but now you (and
Mike) have explained.

So, in summary, everything seems to be correct, taking the current
limitations of the tracker into account.
Many thanks for clarifying!

Bye.
