Subject: Re: [PATCH] vt: fix CVE-2020-8647

Hi,

you should use some better Subject. "vt: fix CVE-2020-8647" is not
descriptive at all. Something like "vt: fix use after free in
vc_resize". You can reference the CVE in the text if you want.

You should explain why we must. I.e. how the bad access can happen.

For sure, the report mentioned a Reported-by line you should add to the
fix. Could you do so?
