Heh. Usually I ask exactly the opposite question: how to avoid assigning
a CVE# for a non-issue which they most likely think is a serious security
bug?  We've plenty of these in qemu, collecting dust for years...  For
example, for things like some actions by privileged guest process (or kernel)
which leads to qemu dying with assertion failure, which, on a real HW, will
cause hardware lockup.

Nope, I don't remember how to request a CVE ;)
