Oops, I thought I was "over securing" these issues and everyone
ignored them since I heard default policy here is to not send reports
privately without a good reason, so I re-evaluated them and sent
publicly...

OTOH these ones seem to be not too severe: on the first glance they
require a physical or root access, and even if they don't, *these
ones* are only NULL dereferences.

Best regards
Anatoly
