How is this worthy of a CVE? What was the criteria here? If there are security implications of not nullifying `lrbp->cmd`, shouldn't they be noted in the CVE description? If this just a fix to the warning, this CVE should be rejected. Cengiz Can ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

CVE descriptions come directly from the kernel changelog text. If you wish them to say something else, please submit a patch against that text and we can apply that. > If this just a fix to the warning, this CVE should be rejected. If userspace can trigger a WARN_ON() then the machine can be rebooted if panic-on-warn is enabled, and so it requires a CVE assignment. thanks greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
