MITRE is not assigning a CVE ID for
ed4ce82dbfa8a3a3c8ea6fa0db113c71e234416c at this time. First, the
(misspelled) reporter name suggests that the issue might have already
had a CVE ID assigned by Red Hat before the issue became public. Also,
http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.1p2 does not announce this as a
security fix. Finally, the wording suggests that it could possibly be
an interoperability fix, not a security fix.
