Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

5.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 5.0.45.1.0 ≤ v ≤ 5.1.75.2.0 ≤ v ≤ 5.2.85.3.0 ≤ v ≤ 5.3.75.4.0 ≤ v ≤ 5.4.56.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 6.0.46.1.0 ≤ v ≤ 6.1.66.2.0 ≤ v ≤ 6.2.26.2.0 ≤ v < 6.2.47.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 7.0.25.0.05.1.05.2.05.3.05.4.06.0.06.1.06.2.07.0.07.0.1
Affected range stops below 6.2.4, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
