Les puces AMD vulnérables à la faille Inception
Cette faille découverte par des chercheurs suisses, est potentiellement exploitable sur toutes ses puces depuis 2017.

Regarding #hardware #reuse, I'm wondering about the #security consequences of using CPUs that no longer receive #microcode updates.
Does #Linux (and #QubesOS) have the ability to apply security mitigations even when upstream stops supporting those CPUs actively?
I was thinking of setting up a new server and some older used/refurbished hardware gets pretty cheap.

After updating the #microcode of a i7-6700 #skylake to the current version from #intel (dated April 2021) , is it safe to re-enable #hyperthreading in the #bios ?

@JohnLoader6 I am baffled at how many #Windows #security #patches aren't available on Windows Update, especially #codecs (only offered thru the "Store") and #microcode (only via Windows Catalog).

@blamp For those who take the time and are intelligent enough to actually understand it, i've also posted a short thread on #OpenHardware and a great video by #JoannaRutkowska of the #Qubes / #QubesOS / #Wildland project(s).
#IntelME isn't your friend, neither is #Microcode no one can #audit.
So for all the #FOSS #Trolls hating on this post, maybe level up and get real because if you're using a #monolithic #kernel on #linux, you're still not #secure.

There’s a great thread on this on “the other site”; but it’s all in this superb blog from the brilliant Ken Shirriff…

Via Twitter: A PoC for pointer signing on #Intel via a custom #microcode patch.
I came across this interesting article (https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html) by the #libreboot project about #LibreHardware or #FreeHardware regarding the shortcomings of the #RYF as well as the #FSDG and the uses of CPU #microcode.
Modern hardware is broken and unfortunately tradeoffs are needed, but also those criteria misunderstand a number of evolving technical details.

This is huge.
Intels bonkers encrypted #microcode has been decrypted.
Encryption keys found. Code understood.
Full of inefficiency:
Some machine code commands trigger just a fucking ELF binary within the CPU. When you just thought you are coding in Assembly!!
Not to speak about the #security impact this has.
This scenario was warned about since years. Now it is right here.
Good luck with the #shitstorm #Intel!
Intel = Suck level 10/10.
