Hash: SHA1
We are not certain if the assignment of CVE-2015-7545 is correct. The vendor
may not officially support the "blindly enable recursive fetch" scenario, i.e.
the user is expected to accept the risk of executing a recursive fetch from an
untrusted source, and the change should be considered a security hardening
feature for the convenience of their users.
MITRE has been actively working with the upstream vendor to determine the
appropriate number of CVEs for the vulnerabilities. There was no oss-security
post from us because the context of MITRE's work was related to previous private
communication from and to the upstream vendor.
In the future, we plan to respond quickly to requests like the initial one,
asking the requester for the appropriate information needed to assign a CVE ID.
