These numbers are incorrect.

These numbers are different from the first two. They are also
incorrect.
The proper CVE candidate number for the Applied Watch issue is
CAN-2003-0974, which can be confirmed at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0974
(If you are curious as to why a single identifier was used, see
http://cve.mitre.org/cve/contentdecisions.html for some background
information on CVE content decisions.)
The IDs as referenced in the original advisory are actually related to
the following issues:
CAN-2003-0960 - OpenCA certificate chain error
CAN-2003-0961 - Linux kernel do_brk() "bounds checking" flaw
CAN-2003-0970 - Sun Fire ARP packet DoS
CAN-2003-0971 - GnuPG ElGamal breakable sign+encrypt keys
These other IDs can also be confirmed on the CVE web site.
