commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=2a2184f317faa41049cba4095fde42e87628091e
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Since Buildroot commit [1] the CVEs are no longer matched to CPEs with
versions using '-'.

The IGNORE_CVES entries introduced in [2][3][4] are then no longer
matched to the grub2 package.

For more information, see the explanation in commit [1].

[1] 35f376d88e support/scripts/cve.py: fix CPE matching
[2] 2495630383 boot/grub2: ignore CVE-2024-1048
[3] e2f46ed03d boot/grub2: ignore CVE-2023-4001
[4] a490687571 boot/grub2: ignore the last 3 remaining CVEs
