Hi Mauro,
CVE-2020-14377, the memory over read is in the scope of the same application,
that is the reason of the unchanged scope. There is another CVE below that can
use this information to figure out where to overwrite for remote execution which
has scope set as 'Changed'.
CVE-2020-14378, can cause loop taken longer time and delays the service, since
it is eating the core cycles, if there is something else using that specific
core technically it may delay it too, but DPDK mostly uses all core for itself
and since mainly the vhost crypto service is affected, scope selected as Unchanged.
Is there a concern on the selected scope metric?
Thanks.
