Hi Michael, [snipped]
are issues in features that are disabled by default generally treated as unimportant? there are bound to be a (perhaps small) subset of users turning these features on; exposing themselves to more risk if these issues go unfixed. i suppose cve assignment depends on whether or not there is an expectation to protect those users in addition to defaults-using users.
They are not treated as unimportant. However, customers have been advised that our support scope of coverage does not include modified RPMs (i.e. recompiling of kernels to enable unsupported features, etc).
