I'm just waiting for the ransomware that lives on AME, and is burned to the various dies instead of on hard-drives. Isn't that what this open door means?
Unreal. Kept scrolling and the vulnerabilities kept coming. Most annoying thing is that there isn’t even a real alternative. If I understand it right then AMD chips have pretty much the same thing?
Well, maybe AMD does at least some security reviewing on their own? /s ARM could be a affordable alternative to x86 if that works for you.
It looks like they specifically label CVEs that require local access as such. Does anyone know if "via unspecified vector" means network access?
Wow all 6th, 7th and 8th gen are all vulnerable along with a bunch of Xeon processors. Even the laptop I am typing this on is vulnerable, this is going to be messy. Plus all the fun vulnerabilities like arbitrary code execution, unauthorized access to privileged content. These must be related to the blackhat talk coming up in December about hacking a turned-off computer and running unsigned code on ME [0]. Yep and th…
They clearly invested some serious money into this sort of thing and see it as a differentiator (or AMD wouldn't have followed suit). Chances that they'll throw it all away because of a few vulnerabilities are very, very thin.
