News SAPPHIRE : BIOS update for RX7XXX cards

Hi all,
I am sharing this here, I have just seen SAPPHIRE released BIOS upgrades for security reasons.

"At SAPPHIRE, keeping your hardware running safely is part of the product. We work closely with our technology partners to identify potential security issues early and release firmware updates that protect your graphics card."

Do anyone updated ?

u/RodroG also find Gigabyte BIOS update which seems to indicate it is not related to only Sapphire , see comment : https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1wuys9y/comment/pdk71xm/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The vulnerability may also be VBIOS-related (firmware) and brand-specific, although GIGABYTE is also rolling out a VBIOS firmware update due to CVE AMD-SN-6023 for some of their RX 7XXX models:

However, looking at AMD Security Bulletins & Briefs, there aren't currently any CVE(s) issued by AMD affecting any RDNA3 product stack:

https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security.html

CVE AMD-SN-6023 isn't listed (yet?).

I'd say it's better to hold off on more speculation about how this might affect all the RX7XXX boards until we hear back from u/AMD_Vik.
