Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PM: EM: Fix potential division-by-zero error in em_compute_costs() When the device is of a non-CPU type, table[i].performance won't be initialized in the previous em_init_performance(), resulting in division by zero when calculating costs in em_compute_costs(). Since the 'cost' algorithm is only used for EAS energy efficiency calculations and is currently not utilized by other device drivers, we should add the _is_cpu_device(dev) check to prevent this division-by-zero issue.
