Yes, CVE's are assigned to kernel vulnerabilities, and I'm thinking
that in general, these criteria would be applied after they are
assigned a CVE (although that's not a requirement of course). We have
our own criteria for Portage packages because it can take time before
the issues are classified by MITRE, and the classifications aren't
Gentoo specific (correct me if I'm wrong here).
