I see you have created your own bug for CVE-2023-38403. We use internal trackers visible only to Red Hatters for CVEs. For high severity CVEs those do not wait for engineers to ack them, but are prepared by security team.

Can you please use CVE identifier to reference a bug? It should be used automatically.
Use:

Resolves: CVE-2023-38403

In commit message instead of bug number. It would choose appropriate bug number for the release.
