CVE-2016-9598 was assigned for incomplete fix of CVE-2016-4483, however that was closed as duplicate of CVE-2016-3627. That actually makes this CVE a duplicate of CVE-2016-9596 since that one was assigned for incomplete fix of CVE-2016-3627.
Hence I suggest to close this one as duplicate of CVE-2016-9596. Would that work for you?
