AMD released information about a driver vulnerability that affects their CPUs, allowing any user to not only gain access to information but also download the information through certain Windows memory pages. The attacker is capable of gaining access to passwords, as well as launching different attacks, such as interrupting KASLR exploit mitigations, also known as Spectre and Meltdown.
This information came to light after a security researcher and co-founder of ZeroPeril, Kyriakos Economou, discovered the exploit and contacted AMD. Through their work, AMD was able to issue mitigations that are currently part of the newest CPU drivers. You can also utilize Windows Update to receive the latest AMD PSP driver.
