But you are right, we shouldn't ignore this one.
I found that it is also recommended to monitor for that line (high
frequent) for https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-7705

So please feel free to just drop this line from the file.
I wonder thou why it appears in basic execution so often (well different
bug then)
