i see that hvc_console is disabled by default in the debian kernels,Actually, upon review, I see that it is enabled (see the powerpc64 image). Therefore, I'd like to request a CVE ID for it.
Use CVE-2010-2653Let's ignore the default case. If there's a feature that's available to some set of users, no matter how small, then CVE assignment is reasonable, even if it's not the default. It's not much different than if you have an issue that only affects a particular chip set or compiler.
