Hi Aladdin,

> Thanks, do you think CVE is required here to warn users about this bug?

[I am not a security expert...] I think not.  The bug was an attempt to read
via NULL pointer (or more precisely a NULL+1 pointer).  The bug could not be
exploited to make the assembler read from any other address, nor could it be
exploited to make it write to any arbitrary address.  So I do not think that
there is a need for a CVE here.

Cheers
  Nick
