Description

The following CVEs I do not consider as vulnerabilties:

They are all missing to initialize structs with the according proper functions for that, so there doesn't exist any working code that could be exploited.
I already contacted mitre.org for CVE-2024-35329 over a month ago to reject this, but no reply :(

There has already been some discussion in #298 but I decided to create a new issue because the thread is hard to read because of the discussion of how those CVEs were (not) reported and published.
