[Openstack-security] abandoned OSSNs?

Some folks from our security team here asked me to ensure them that our
services were patched for all the OSSNs that are listed here:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Security_Notes

Most of these are straight-forward, but there are some OSSNs that have been
allocated an ID but then abandoned. There is no detailed wiki page and my
best google efforts lead me to a possible IRC mention and maybe an
abandoned review. The two specifically are OSSN-50/51.

So what am I to do with an "abandoned" OSSN? Has it been decided that there
is no issue anymore? These are pretty old if I look at the dates framing
the other OSSNs (49/52), so I assume they aren't urgent. Can we ignore
these? They sound somewhat scary, for example, "keystonemiddleware can
allow access after token revocation" but I have no means to say whether it
affects us or how we can mitigate without more info.

Thoughts?
