Does oil based paint or primer have the same fire hazard for balled up rags as oil based stains?

If it’s in its can then it’s only flammable if it’s ignited, balled up rags will spontaneously combust if allowed to dry with drying oils on them. Drying oils oxidize through polymerization. That action creates heat, high enough to combust. Please be careful.
