A security vulnerability has been uncovered in AMD processors built with the Zen 2 architecture. Spotted by a Google researcher, the so-called 'Zenbleed' vulnerability opens the door to a potential attacker and threatens the possibility of exposing sensitive information. Don't worry, there is a fix, but us gamers will have to wait around a little longer than our server-side pals to get hold of it.

Zenbleed affects all Zen 2 processors, which includes Ryzen 3000/4000, Threadripper 3000, Ryzen 4000/5000/7020 mobile, and Epyc Rome generations.
