CVE JSON v5 has an unambiguous definition how to interpret version ranges, something previously missing (as discussed in github/advisory-database#771).
(While JSON v5 states that
it is not a requirement, and the algorithm
provides an unambiguous result for overlapping version range specifications.)
This is an update of some affected Jenkins CVEs to see whether they'd be migrated to JSON v5 in a way that properly excludes the specified backports from the version ranges.
This does not address the problem of future releases on the backport branch, but I don't think that can be done with JSON v4 anyway. This also does not fix all 2020-2022 CVEs in Jenkins affected by this problem -- that's a followup PR if this one is successful.
