@vbabka @mort @ljs @mcepl I am not trolling anything, I am working within the requirements of the CVE system at the request of the people who run it. We are doing so because other entities were abusing the CVE system for the Linux project in the past, so in order to take control of it, we must work within the constraints with which we are placed.

And that means assigning CVEs to everything that meets the definition of vulnerability as defined by cve.org. If you, or anyone else notices a CVE we issue that does NOT meet that definition, please let us know and we will be glad to reject it.

Odds are other operating system kernels will start doing the same as Linux does, if they wish to be a CNA for their project. We aren't alone here, it's just that we report our fixes, others don't, or aren't actually developing any fixes. You be the judge of which is the case for various projects :)
