LABScon Replay | Spectre Strikes Again: Introducing the Firmware Edition

This LABScon presentation describes Binarly Research's findings that AMD-based firmware (including UEFI/SMM) remains vulnerable to speculative execution attacks like Spectre and Retbleed due to ineffective mitigations, asynchronous firmware fixes across the supply chain, and inconsistent vendor advisories; the talk outlines research methodologies and implications for firmware security without reporting active exploitation.
