AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose'

Here we are - 3600 which was still under manufacture 2-3 years ago are not get patched. Shame on you AMD, if it is true.

  • so that means you can internally flash the bios chip from the os?

    would be cool if there were coreboot builds for these platforms, this exploit seems pretty useful

    • Wait yeah can someone explain why this exploit couldn't be used to say rewrite it to support coreboot and turn this into a good thing?

      • because you need the coreboot people to write firmware that can initialise the system, and that probably takes a lot of reverse engineering

        I don't know much about this, but I assume there's little to no effort for corebooting on the amd side, I've only seen intel platforms with coreboot
