Especially for the last 5 years, the deficits of processors at the core level have been deeply shaking the chip world. With the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities, designers are more sensitive, making more extensive reviews. AMD released an important report this week.Watch out for AMD vulnerabilities
AMD announced this week that it has a total of 31 vulnerabilities in its Zen architecture processors. Together with Apple, Google and Oracle security teams, AMD has prepared a report.
While 3 of the vulnerabilities concern Ryzen processors, 28 of them involve EPYC server processors. While 1 of them is high risk, there are 3 important deficits. There is a possibility of attacks on certain parts of the processor or data loss due to vulnerabilities.
AMD has prepared different versions of AGESA to close the gaps. The versions are sent to the relevant producing partners. Users are asked to check for updates by going to manufacturer sites if necessary. Here is the list of processors AMD has published:
- Ryzen 2000 (Pinnacle Ridge) series
- Ryzen 2000 APUs
- Ryzen 5000 APUs
- AMD Threadripper 2000 HEDT and Pro series
- AMD Threadripper 3000 HEDT and Pro series
- Ryzen 2000 mobile series
- Ryzen 3000 mobile series
- Ryzen 5000 mobile series
- Ryzen 6000 mobile series
- Athlon 3000 mobile series
