Zenbleed Patch Release: 7/27/2023 @ 0700 EST
Hi all! There was a flaw announced and patches released that is trivially executable in a large number of AMD environments (CVE-2023-20593). We announced Monday that we had a patch for Zenbleed ready https://almalinux.org/blog/zenbleed-patch-call-for-testing/ (please read the blog post for full details), but wanted testing. So far we have seen a significant number of users and companies apply the patches with our updated linux-firmware package with no reported problems, and therefore we plan to push the updated package live at 07:00 US eastern time July 27th. If you are at all concerned, we encourage you to test in your own environment and let us know if you find any problems. As a side note: we already have been, but are continuing to discuss the right way to handle this in a sustainable way going forward. If you have interest in being part of that solution, join our chat and keep an eye out for when we start to build those structures, and make sure to join us at the AlmaLinux OS Foundation https://almalinux.org/members/. -- Jonathan Wright AlmaLinux Foundation Mattermost: chat https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/messages/@jonathan
This package has been pushed to all mirrors and is now live. If you encounter any problems, please use https://bugs.almalinux.org/ or https://chat.almalinux.org to let us know!
