Here we are - 3600 which was still under manufacture 2-3 years ago are not get patched. Shame on you AMD, if it is true.
minus-square@JumutalinkEnglish18•1 month agoso that means you can internally flash the bios chip from the os? would be cool if there were coreboot builds for these platforms, this exploit seems pretty useful
minus-square0^2linkfedilinkEnglish5•1 month agoWait yeah can someone explain why this exploit couldn’t be used to say rewrite it to support coreboot and turn this into a good thing?
minus-square@JumutalinkEnglish1•edit-21 month agobecause you need the coreboot people to write firmware that can initialise the system, and that probably takes a lot of reverse engineering I don’t know much about this, but I assume there’s little to no effort for corebooting on the amd side, I’ve only seen intel platforms with coreboot
