Criticality Values

A measure of the relative importance of the associated Scope. This is most relevant when Scope has a value of Limited. When Scope is Limited, Criticality MUST be used in order to provide additional information about its importance. Alternatively, if Scope is Unlimited, Criticality SHOULD be considered as High. Criticality MUST be considered in concert with the Context to which it is associated. That is, for a given Context (such as Guest OS or Application), the Criticality should reflect how significant an associated impact could be for the specific Context. An impact in a Guest OS Context may be of lower significance than the same impact in a Host OS Context and should be reflected accordingly by its associated Criticality.

Values

• Low: The impact is reasonably insignificant.
• High: The impact is reasonably significant.
