Just one instruction on AMD's 2015-era CPUs cracks open secret memory areas and gives full hardware-level control — exploit for 15h and 16h chip families gets you access to Platform Security Processor
Many cybersecurity exploits have been deemed The One Ring To Rule Them All, but that moniker is rarely as true as a literal bit that disables the memory mapping on some AMD CPUs, granting access to normally inaccessible areas.…
With just one instruction, you can access off-limits software like Pla…
The exploit is called Skitter Creek Bath Salts (Skitter), and was deve…
Only AMD chips from the 15h and 16h families are affected, roughly 201…
