Should I resubmit the patch email with correct formatting? MITRE assigned
this bug as CVE-2021-42327. Does AMD/kernel do public vulnerability
reports? Do I need to email someone else or something(sorry for dumb
questions this is my first time doing this and I don't know what to do)?
I am trying to do step 11 from here:
https://cve.mitre.org/cve/researcher_reservation_guidelines.
