Update, 3:15pm PT: AMD shared a comment on the new vulnerability disclosure, which we've added below. 

Original Article, 9:16am PT : A new paper released by security researchers at the Technical University of Berlin reveals that AMD's firmware-based Trusted Platform Module (fTPM / TPM) can be fully compromised via a voltage fault injection attack, thus allowing full access to the cryptographic data held inside the fTPM in an attack called 'faulTPM.' Ultimately this allows an attacker to fully compromise any application or encryption, like BitLocker, that relies solely upon TPM-based security.
