Since we know the Yahoo issue, at least, is a definite remote crasher, yes, we
do.  Since all the potential remote issues share the same root cause, we can
request a single blanket CVE, something along the lines of "Insufficient return
value checking leads to remotely triggerable denial of service" that indicates
the same problem exists in multiple locations.
