Just to be clear, does this mean MITRE has reached out to all of the
current CNAs and informed them of the new rules?

How should we approach CNAs that are violating these rules, via a
long-term string of violations regarding an assignment. For example,
IBM
has been using CVE-2014-8730 for their products despite the early
change
in the entry from MITRE specifically designating it for F5 products
only.
I have contacted IBM half a dozen times over the last year or more
pointing out examples of this. Their most recent mis-use of this CVE
was
on Sep 19 (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21390112).
Moving forward, if they continue to mis-use 2014-8730, what is the best
course of action since contacting them doesn't seem to help?

Thanks,

Brian
