it's funny that they have to debunk the "root is root, why would AMD patch this" that goes around every time there's a serious issue that allows guest-root escape from virtualized containers.

the same thing happened with the ryzenfall/masterkey exploit, where people were just in utter denial there was an actual exploit there, because root is root! People literally spent more time talking about who released it and their background image than the actual exploit. AMD obvious cannot have exploits, that's only an intel thing. /s
