AMD won’t patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for ‘Sinkclose’ | Tom’s Hardware
AMD processors dating back to 2006, reportedly numbering in the hundreds of millions of chips, suffer from a major security flaw that allows attackers to infiltrate a system virtually undetectable. AMD Product Security has since released updates for several processor families to mitigate this issue, but not all of them will be covered. According to a statement given to Tom’s Hardware, AMD said, “There are some older products that are outside our software support window.” AMD has no plans to update its Ryzen 1000, 2000, and 3000 series processors or its Threadripper 1000 and 2000 models.
