If you feel the Linux CNA has issued CVEs in an inconsistent way, please
contact them and the people there will be glad to research the issue and
get back to you.  They are issuing, on average, 13 CVEs a day, and so
stuff like this easily gets lost in the firehose.

The Linux CNA is also currently "backfilling" many old CVE entries that
previously came from the GSD database, and perhaps the issues you are
referring to came from there.  If so, again, please contact them and
they will be glad to discuss it.

thanks,
