Famed Ryzen 3000 will Sinkclose patch after all, AMD confirms.
AMD has had a change of heart when it comes to patching the Sinkclose vulnerability on Ryzen 3000 desktop chips.
As per the latest update to its SMM Lock Bypass Security Bulletin, the famed silicon will receive an update after all – but other older chips, unfortunately, are still being given the cold shoulder.
It was recently revealed most AMD chips built over the past 18 years are vulnerable to Sinkclose, a critical severity flaw which could allow threat actors to break into the target system – unseen. At the time, the company said that it will be patching newer models, but older ones – especially those who had reached end-of-life – are left for dead, despite some of them being extremely popular among the consumers.
