Resolution
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response."
BROADCOM PROVIDES THE CVSS BASE AND TEMPORAL SCORES "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY IN THEIR SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENT. BROADCOM DOES NOT PROVIDE A CVSS ENVIRONMENT SCORE. THE CVSS ENVIRONMENT SCORE IS CUSTOMER ENVIRONMENT SPECIFIC AND WILL IMPACT THE OVERALL CVSS SCORE. CUSTOMERS SHOULD EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY AND CAN CALCULATE A CVSS ENVIRONMENT SCORE.
The CVSS score and all other information describing the security matter is Broadcom confidential and may be used by you for internal purposes only and may not be disclosed to any third party without Broadcom's prior written consent.
