The security team does not assign CVEs, nor do we require them for
reports or fixes, as this can needlessly complicate the process and may
delay the bug handling. If a reporter wishes to have a CVE identifier
-assigned, they should find one by themselves, for example by contacting
-MITRE directly. However under no circumstances will a patch inclusion
-be delayed to wait for a CVE identifier to arrive.
+assigned for a confirmed issue, they can contact the :doc:`kernel CVE
