So CVE-2023-40458 is to be consideres specific to ALEOS. The reason
is, while the underlying vulnerability is the same as CVE-2021-42260
Sierra Wireless CNA choosed to register a unique CVE as the ALEOS
source code contained code taken from TinyXML but did not contain the
complete TinyXML source.  The fixing of the vulnerability reflects the
fix in TinyXML (as per its CVE), but it was not possible in the
Sirerra Wireless product to address the vulnerability by directly
taking the TinyXML code.
