Looks like Red Hat created it and then rejected it, you will have to
talk about this with them.  But then later ZDI asked me to assign a CVE
for it, and I did assuming that they knew what they were talking about.
I shouldn't have assumed that :(

I don't know what to do here, sorry.  If you don't think this is an
issue, great, I'll be glad to reject it but we should say at least why
we don't think so here in this thread, right?

thanks,
