Researchers Say AMD Processors Have Serious Vulnerabilities and Backdoors

Security researchers warned Tuesday that some AMD processors contain ‘critical’ vulnerabilities, as well as backdoors that the researchers claimed were put in place in systems outsourced to a third-party manufacturer by AMD. The 13 different vulnerabilities were found in AMD Secure Processor, which is used in the company’s EPYC and Ryzen CPUs. These bugs would allow hackers who have already gained a foothold into a computer to install persistent and hard-to-detect malware, researchers warned.
