Hello,

There are security vulnerabilities in Intel and AMD processors.
More information can be found at 
https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2023/08/15/downfall/

It appears that changes are required both in the operating system code and 
microcode/bios updates.

If I remember correctly, when Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities were 
disclosed in early 2018, there was significant controversy surrounding the 
notification process. Several entities, including certain Linux distributions 
and the FreeBSD project, were not informed as early as some major tech 
companies.

I am aware that work is currently being done for upcoming FreeBSD 14 release 
and there may not be available human resources, but is there anyone working on 
this?

Kind regards,
Christos Chatzaras
