AMD Releases Updated Patch for Zen 1's "Division by zero" Vulnerability

A twist in the tale: After AMD's initial patch addressing the Zen 1 "Division by zero" bug, they've had to revisit the solution as it didn't seal the vulnerabilities as hoped.

The glitch revolves around how Zen 1 handled an integer division by 0, potentially leaving sensitive data up for grabs by attackers. Though AMD was swift with a remedy, it turned out to be less effective against certain attack vectors.

However, the silver lining: AMD Linux Engineer, Borislav Petkov, has rolled out an enhanced solution. This fresh patch ensures a fortified level of protection by applying a safe division operation across various processor scenarios.

It's fingers crossed that this new patch puts the issue to bed for good.
