plainly, crash = DoS = security issue = CVE. QED.

  BRB, raising a CVE complaining the OOM killer exists.

    Memory leaks are usually (accurately) treated as DoS. OoM killer is a mitigation to contain them and not DoS the entire OS.

    I could be wrong. But operation by design isn't considered a bug.
    • samus 9mo ago
      It is if some other condition is violated that is more important. Then the design might have to be reconsidered.
    • suspended_state 9mo ago
      If it is faulty, then it's not a bug, it's a flaw.
      • lfllfkddl 9mo ago
        It is possible to design a security vulnerability.
        • worthless-trash 9mo ago
          Oh, now that is an exciting area.

    you either get OOMed or next malloc fails and that's also going to wreck havoc
