We have bugzilla (as usual, use CVE as a bug id), but not too useful
for other distros, as it only says we're not affected.  All EC crypto is
one of the "patent or otherwise encumbered" code pieces that are removed
and not compiled in.

Oh, I did not realize this was the case.  Looks like we don't compile
this stuff in either - we have "no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-ec no-ecdh
no-ecdsa" on the ./Configure line.

Thanks,
