AMD's response (http://ir.amd.com/news-releases/news-release-details/view-our-corner-street-0 http://ir.amd.com/news-releases/news-release-details/view-ou... / http://ir.amd.com/ir-blog http://ir.amd.com/ir-blog) : "We have just received a report from a company called CTS Labs claiming there are potential security vulnerabilities related to certain of our processors. We are actively investigating and analyzing its findings. This company was previously unknown to AMD and we find it unusual for a security firm to publish its research to the press without providing a reasonable amount of time for the company to investigate and address its findings. At AMD, security is a top priority and we are continually working to ensure the safety of our users as potential new risks arise. We will update this blog as news develops." Dan Guido (https://twitter.com/dguido/status/973628933034991616 https://twitter.com/dguido/status/973628933034991616) claims: "Regardless of the hype around the release, the bugs are real, accurately described in their technical report (which is not public afaik), and their exploit code works."
