Taking advantage of this security hole, hackers can install malicious software to access the kernel data (kernel) inside Windows, Linux and macOS operating systems to get important information.

Immediately after the problem was discovered, AMD was reviewing the entire system to assess risks and ensure users were always protected. The results show that there are 3 variants that can attack this security hole. Depending on the processor, the threat and processing methods for these three types of attacks will vary. However, AMD also confirmed that even if this security hole is exploited, its processors are not at risk.
