In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Use number of bits to manage bitmap sizes
To allocate bitmaps, the mpi3mr driver calculates sizes of bitmaps using
byte as unit. However, bitmap helper functions assume that bitmaps are
allocated using unsigned long as unit. This gap causes memory access beyond
the bitmap sizes and results in "BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds". The BUG
was observed at firmware download to eHBA-9600. Call trace indicated that
the out-of-bounds access happened in find_first_zero_bit() called from
mpi3mr_send_event_ack() for miroc->evtack_cmds_bitmap.
To fix the BUG, do not use bytes to manage bitmap sizes. Instead, use
number of bits, and call bitmap helper functions which take number of bits
as arguments. For memory allocation, call bitmap_zalloc() instead of
kzalloc() and krealloc(). For memory free, call bitmap_free() instead of
kfree(). For zero clear, call bitmap_clear() instead of memset().
Remove three fields for bitmap byte sizes in struct scmd_priv which are no
longer required. Replace the field dev_handle_bitmap_sz with
dev_handle_bitmap_bits to keep number of bits of removepend_bitmap across
resize.
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".

Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer.
