Ok this indicated an autotriager flaw.  It is worth bringing these to my
attention sooner rather than later so they can be investigated.  I have
looked at the flaw and this is related to a new odd markup combination
coming from the security team where they are using upstream: and break-fix:
together (they are nominally mutually exclusive) and now using different
upstream repositories for linus' tree.  I have generalised the handling
for this situation and it is now resolved and the CVE matrix should
again show the truth.

I am slightly confused by your contention that T is not-affected as 4.4.122
has the fix; yes the hwe kernel is covered but the trusty GA kernel would
need separate handling.  The newly minted matrix output tends to confirm
this contention.
