Unfortunately with Linux Kernel's current approach as a CVE Numbering
Authority I don't think this can be avoided. Patches with fixes tag will
almost certainly get a CVE number assigned (e.g. CVE-2024-26624[1][2]),
and we can only dispute[3] after such assignment happend for the CVE to
be rejected.
