In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (pmbus/core) honor vrm_version in pmbus_data2reg_vid()
pmbus_data2reg_vid() hardcoded the VR11 encoding regardless of the
vrm_version configured by the driver, while pmbus_reg2data_vid()
already switched on it. Any driver that selects a non-VR11 VID mode
and exposes a regulator (or hwmon vout setter) sent dangerously
wrong codes to PMBUS_VOUT_COMMAND -- e.g. an nvidia195mv part asked
for 200 mV got the VR11 clamp to 500 mV encoded as 0xB2, which the
chip interprets as 1080 mV.
Mirror pmbus_reg2data_vid() so writes round-trip with reads.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
The EG score (7.1): severity, escalated by confirmed exploitation. This CVE's 7.1 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".

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
