Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.74%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Some NVIDIA Tegra mobile processors released prior to 2016 contain a buffer overflow vulnerability in BootROM Recovery Mode (RCM). An attacker with physical access to the device's USB and the ability to force the device to reboot into RCM could exploit the vulnerability to execute unverified code.
