There's no general answer to that question. CVE ID assignments are not
based on outsiders making guesses about the expectations of a product's
customers. For example, there might be a crypto library intended for
communication on isolated networks to high-value embedded devices that
support only SSLv2, and cannot and will not ever be updated.
