The defense model of systems isn't 2-ring anymore. Things like undetectable rootkits and undetectable surveillance are /super/ dangerous, and vulns which enable them are too. Even if the researchers that found them are definitely being scummy, the vulns still have impact.
The problem is PC secureboot security is a total mess, worse than Tegra. So though the vulns are real, there are a zillion other vectors you could use. If someone gets root on your PC you're still screwed, AMD or Intel alike.
In other words, this only affects gullible enterprise IT people who bought into all that stuff. Consumers don't care, they're screwed if they get pwned anyway. Competent large cloud providers are already using custom designs with their own security model.
Really, I welcome these vulns as a way for end-users to take control over *their* hardware. We know AMD can't secure their way out of a paper bag, but what if *I* want to run my own secure code on the PSP?
I’m going to just hide in the closet and go use an abacaus
Even mechanical calculators aren't safe from evil miscreants trying to crash them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kd3R_RlXgc …
I mean, as with all things, it's a question of threat model. Does your average skiddie have a use for this? Of course not. Do state actors who might want to drop a totally invisible root kit on a major hosting provider? Yeah absolutely.
Sure there are more efficient ways to do this, but the fewer the better, at least imo.
