        Read the article again. There is no mention of Linux. They only mention the Windows driver.

          You are right Xecure, the article only mentions Windows. Also the underlying AMD security bulletin reports Windows chipset drivers for all the listed chips only here. But the question is legitimate, whether there is a similar vulnerability in linux drivers for these chips.
          Again, it is not a problem of the chip itself, but of its driver, restricted to Windows only by now. No remark anywhere that linux driver for these chips would also suffer from this vulnerability.

          Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.
