The AMDFLAWS folks are getting a lot of flak, much of it rightfully so: for overhyping, bad disclosure process,etc. But escalation from root to secure enclave is actually not nothing. Why is this so easily dismissed? Malware in VTL1 is also a threat that seems valid to me.

Agreed but is this really a QA issue with the driver or a bad design choice for the PSP? The latter might mean a sw update/redesign for the PSP, the former is plain silly.

Certainly nothing that I would have hired a PR agency for. Might have made for an entertaining talk at a con, max.

That is sort of besides the point now as the short on AMD clearly failed (stock is up!). I am wondering if the choice to put the PSP on-core has meant that AMD has been superficial in its risk assessment compared to, say, ME which is off-core.
