As problems such as Meltdwon circuit breaker and Spectre ghost vulnerability emerged in the second half of 2017, Intel's life was quite difficult. Before that, AMD was chasing and looting, and after that, security vulnerabilities hit market confidence, which can be described as internal and external troubles ARM、 Although Qualcomm and others are chip manufacturers, they are much less affected. However, the good days are not long. Recently, CTS Labs, an Israeli security company, revealed up to 12 high-risk system vulnerabilities for AMD Ryzen series processors, which is a blow to AMD who is determined to fight back against Intel.

CTS Labs' recent research found that AMD Zen CPU architecture has up to 12 high-risk security vulnerabilities, the severity of which is no less than Intel's circuit breaker and ghost vulnerabilities. For AMD, which has just improved in market share and stock, it is a cold water. More seriously, this vulnerability not only affects AMD Ryzen consumer desktop processors and Ryzen mobile processors, but also affects commercial Ryzen Pro enterprise processors, EPYC data center processors, and almost all AMD product lines.

At present, it has been successfully used in 21 environments. These vulnerabilities can be used to control Ryzen/EPYC security processors, control Ryzen motherboards, infect AMD processors with malware, steal sensitive information from enterprise networks, bypass terminal security software and other serious problems. However, CTS Labs did not disclose specific technical details to ensure user security. It is reported that AMD may need nearly 90 days to completely repair these high-risk security vulnerabilities.
