The TC voted on June 29th, 2022 to add a new field to CSAF 2.1, as requested per Feng Cao in the following email:
https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/csaf/email/archives/202206/msg00006.html

Dear TC members,

I'd like to discuss about adding a new value for "category" in
"remediation".

Problem:

The third party CVEs will be announced in advisories. Some of them are
re-scored with CVSSv3.1 = 0.0. "known_not_affected" is used in
"product_status". In "remediation", "category" doesn't have a matching
value for "known_not_affected"

(the question on why to announce them with CVSSv3.1=0.0 is to provide
the info to the customers, as their scanners might catch the third party
components, and then they will ask the support).

Solution:

Add a new value, such as "patch_for_not_affected".

Thanks,

Feng Cao, PHD, CISSP, PMP
