Apparently it's AMD's turn. Although, instead of having months to work on a solution and arrange a quick sell off of corporate shares there's only been 24 hours notice in this case.
Things are a bit light on the technical description and eyebrows are being raised at the lab itself.
It seems like a sort of perfectly normal level of insecurity that you'd expect in such hideously complex systems - insecurity and untrustworthiness is the normal state of affairs. The more complex a thing is, the more likely there'll be holes in it somewhere. This is, after all, the reason why Europe is laughing at the idea of a hard border in NI - it's got more holes and crossings than any other EU border.
Also. Why the fuck does every security vulnerability have to have a fucking brand these days? Is it some idiotic way of drawing attention to the brander.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
