+Subject: [PATCH] update: Compare computed vs expected sha256 digit string
+ ignoring case
+
+We produce sha256 digest string using %x snprintf()
+qualifier for each byte of digest which uses alphabetic
+characters from "a" to "f" in lower case to represent
+integer values from 10 to 15.
+
+Previously all of the NVD META files supply sha256
+digest string for corresponding XML file in lower case.
+
+However due to some reason this changed recently to
+provide digest digits in upper case causing fetched
+data consistency checks to fail. This prevents database
+from being updated periodically.
+
+While commit c4f6e94 (update: Do not treat sha256 failure
+as fatal if requested) adds useful option to skip
+digest validation at all and thus provides workaround for
+this situation, it might be unacceptable for some
+deployments where we need to ensure that downloaded
+data is consistent before start parsing it and update
+SQLite database.
+
+Use strcasecmp() to compare two digest strings case
+insensitively and addressing this case.
