    What are the rules on responsible disclosure? Shouldnt they have waited until patches are ready before public disclosure of the exploit?

      I mean, this was disclosed to AMD a few months back and there actually is a patch available currently for Epyc CPUs.

      It’d be nice if they waited until all the patches were out, but I’d rather this than a full zero-day exploit of this scale in the wild.
