"Zenbleed" bug affects all Zen 2-based Ryzen, Threadripper, and EPYC CPUs.

The bug allows attackers to swipe data from a CPU’s registers. […] the exploit doesn’t require physical hardware access and can be triggered by loading JavaScript on a malicious website.

This is really bad. Mostly because there’s nothing to be done other than shutting down any of the affected processors until some time in the fall.
