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).

In other words, if you're a consumer and you don't already have your computer pwned by malware, you're probably fine. You need an entry point in order to exploit this kind of stuff: physical access and/or local code execution.

I'm more concerned about AMD dragging their feet about the Spectre microcode update for my Threadripper than this stuff. These new flaws are more fun because they actually allow you to *take control* over PSP and defang it, *increasing* your security (a la me_cleaner for Intel).

Replying to @marcan42
Instead of beating it with a blunt object like me_cleaner, would be cooler to have it host your own code. ...and Spectre, really? who cares :P
