AM4 and AM5 motherboards receive the update

LogoFAIL it discovers in December 2023 a security vulnerability in desktop computers and laptops. It uses the option to customize the logo displayed during system startup, which allows you to: bypassing securityby operating on ESP (EFI System Partition) and NVRAM.

Once LogoFAIL has infected the BIOS image, the vulnerability is then exploited during the DXE (Driver Execution Environment) phase. This allows you to bypass both hardware and software security (antivirus) and bootkit installation without being detected by the user.

AMD owners, as usual, had to wait a long time for a reaction. Intel patched the problem in December and quickly convinced board manufacturers to release the update. The Reds' partners have only moved into action in recent weeks. The new BIOS has already been released on AMD B550 platforms, but there is still no version for the X670.
