#AMD discloses slew of high severity #security #vulnerabilities for #Zen systems, from the original Zen chips to the latest #Zen4 #CPU, that attacks #BIOS chips, we finally have a #Zenbleed fix. AMD is patching the vulnerabilities through new versions of #AGESA, for #Zen2-based chips, in particular, many of these new AGESAs also patch Zenbleed, including #Epyc #Server chips https://bit.ly/3I1JKds https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-discloses-slew-of-high-severity-security-vulnerabilities-for-zen-chips-that-attack-bios-chips-updates-aim-to-patch-bugs-finally-fix-zenbleed
AMD discloses slew of high severity security vulnerabilities that attacks BIOS chips on Zen systems — updates aren't available for all chips, finally a fix Zenbleed

Update your BIOS ASAP.

Zenbleed (CVE-2023-20593)

@merill I dislike the additional dependency on Microsoft managed infrastructure. Their track record isn’t great lately given #solarwinds, #bluebleed and their e-mail/key hack. I can’t even find a reasonable statement about #zenbleed for Azure.
Can’t find any statement from Microsoft regarding Azure and #zenbleed (CVE-2023-20593) mitigation. At least Aws and google published statements for their clouds.
Pretty good video to watch on the #zenbleed vulnerability, feat. Tacos Ormandy:

When looking at all the CPU vulnerabilities in the recent years even until this day. We see mitigations taking place in microcode or OS level. But the performance impact is huge! Sometimes 30%-50% decrease in performance on specific tasks like databases!
Question: can we get some compensation as consumer? Since both Intel and AMD sold hardware that doesn't give the promised results.

The #Linux kernel wants, for my CPU (Ryzen 3600), microcode revision 0x8701032. The latest available (only via BIOS updates, not linux-firmware) is 0x8701030, and the kernel complains about it:

“Zenbleed: please update your microcode for the most optimal fix”
