EntrySign is a vulnerability that enables attackers with ring 0 or kernel-level access to bypass safeguards.

Oh yeah, this is the same one that was in the news a while ago.

ComboAM5PI 1.2.0.3c AGESA

~~On my mobo it's been out since 2021/8/5 if I understand correctly, so it's been fixed for a few years now? So I guess anyone with a newer version is safe.~~

edit: Apparently AGESA V2 1.2.0.E is the one with the fix, what's with the numbering in the article lol

edit2: AMD's page on the fix, indeed fixed in ComboAM4v2PI 1.2.0.E, article is using a version for a different series. Look for your processor/series on that page for accurate bios version ig
