Hi,

We have a default CVE_PRODUCT value so that we don't have to manually
maintain mappings in every recipe. Per-recipe CVE_PRODUCT assignments
are useful when the default mapping either misses CVEs or matches
unrelated CVEs.

In this case you say there is no CVE report delta between having this
CVE_PRODUCT assignment and not having it - so is there any reason it is
needed?

Best regards,
