It looks like an OEM leaked the patch for a major upcoming CPU vulnerability, i.e. "AMD Microcode Signature Verification Vulnerability":
https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x870-i-gaming-wifi/helpdesk_bios/ I'm not thrilled about this - the patch is *not* currently in linux-firmware, so this is the only publicly available patch. However, other people are discussing how to extract them: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/offer-intel-amd-via-cpu-microcode-archives-1995-present/102857/53 Tavis. -- _o) $ lynx lock.cmpxchg8b.com /\\ _o) _o) $ finger tav...@sdf.org _\_V _( ) _( ) @taviso
