| JEMC said: Congrats, Yuri. To all Zen owners, this is of interest: New Ryzen Chipset Driver Patches Security Vulnerabilities Right now, AMD has two vulnerabilities affecting all Ryzen based CPUs listed on AMD's website. One of these includes a Speculative code store bypass and floating-point value injection vulnerability, which can cause Ryzen CPUs to leak data when processing overwritten instructions when the CPU processes incorrect floating point numbers. The second vulnerability also relates to data leakage, called the Transient Execution of Non-canonical Accesses. This vulnerability can allow data leakage when the CPU executes a non-canonical load and stores those numbers with just 48 address bits or lower. We're not completely sure these are the flaws AMD's new PSP driver has fixed. But either way, it would be best to update your Ryzen chipset drivers to this new version to insure you aren't exposed to unknown vulnerabilities. Especially when AMD classifies these security flaws as "critical." You can download the latest driver here. |
As a bonus this finally fixed the USB C port on my motherboard which have not worked basically as long as I own it. The Chipset driver that on motherboard manufacture website it would work with but that not been updated since December 2019 so for security reason never used it. This is the first Chipset I got directly from AMD where the USB C port worked. Not a huge deal since every other USB port on motherboard work but annoying that the only 20gbs USB port on motherboard did not work.
Now I just hope the next update don't break it again.
