Stop spreading nonsense. We are following the cve.org rules with regards to assigning vulnerabilities to their definition. And yes, many bugs at this level (turns out about 25% of all stable commits) match that definition, which is fine. If you have a problem with this, please take it up with cve.org and their rules, but don't go making stuff up please. greg k-h
