Description Allen Webb 2023-03-24 16:34:32 UTC 
sys-libs/ldb is part of the samba project so the CPE string in:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-libs/ldb/metadata.xml
is
cpe:/a:samba:samba

A consequence of this is CVE matching tooling attribues the ldb version to samba rather than to ldb. Since these versions do not correspond it makes sense to drop the CPE string for ldb for now since we have coverage for `cpe:/a:samba:samba` in the samba package.

Reproducible: Always
