In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/deadline: Fix warning in migrate_enable for boosted tasks
When running the following command:
while true; do
stress-ng --cyclic 30 --timeout 30s --minimize --quiet
done
a warning is eventually triggered:
WARNING: CPU: 43 PID: 2848 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:794

RIP: 0033:0x7f0dab31f92b
This warning occurs because set_cpus_allowed dequeues and enqueues tasks
with the ENQUEUE_RESTORE flag set. If the task is boosted, the warning
is triggered. A boosted task already had its parameters set by
rt_mutex_setprio, and a new call to setup_new_dl_entity is unnecessary,
hence the WARN_ON call.
Check if we are requeueing a boosted task and avoid calling
setup_new_dl_entity if that's the case.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
The EG score (5.5): severity, escalated by confirmed exploitation. This CVE's 5.5 is its impact severity (EG Severity), not escalated.

SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at every mission impact level.
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
