About time someone looked at AMD's "security". https://amdflaws.com FUD warning though: this isn't some "everyone with an AMD is doomed" scenario. This mostly affects those depending on advanced security features, stuff like fTPM (which was always suspect IMO).
Pretty much. I reckon the highest impact this will have is BitLocker bypass if you depend on secure boot (the mode where there's no boot time passphrase screen, just the regular login dialog - which was never a good idea).

Technically you can do that with LUKS too (it takes some effort though). It's better than nothing (if you can't afford a boot time password), but you have to take the added security with a huge grain of salt.
