AMD's Ryzen 3000-series processors are now eligible for patches against the SinkClose vulnerability, despite earlier exclusions, indicating a response to community pressure for updates.
The SinkClose vulnerability, disclosed under CVE-2023-31315, affects most AMD processors since 2006, allowing deeper system penetration for already compromised systems.
Initially, AMD did not include the Ryzen 3000 series in its patch plans, highlighting the ambiguity of support for legacy but significant hardware in its lineup.
With a CVSS score of 7.5, the SinkClose vulnerability underscores the risk of kernel-level access allowing broader control to attackers already in the system.
