System security update for X370 gamingx, when ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've updated (with the latest firmware release) the bios of my motherboard X370 gaming X but the utility 'inspectre' shows me that all the recent updates don't solve the issue with spectre vulnerability.

I am waiting for an update of the bios to solve this.

Is it scheduled ?

	AMD are supposedly working on it. Until they find a solution and roll it out to motherboard vendors, then ASRock can't really do anything. Priority will obviously be EPYC and other server type hardware, before consumers. I suppose the good news is that Ryzen isn't all that susceptible to Spectre. There have also been now real world examples of the exploit, because it's really hard to do. Google Chrome and Firefox browsers have options to disable migrating data.
