Stop spreading nonsense.  We are following the cve.org rules with
regards to assigning vulnerabilities to their definition.

And yes, many bugs at this level (turns out about 25% of all stable
commits) match that definition, which is fine.  If you have a problem
with this, please take it up with cve.org and their rules, but don't go
making stuff up please.
