Yeoch, another security vulnerability to worry about. Apparently a bios update has already been released you can install to fix it.

Interesting choice of words; “jailbreaking” is something the user does to advantageously overcome limitations placed on a device by its manufacturer. What does jailbreaking my CPU allow me to do? Turn it into a brick if I’m not careful. Potentially turn it into a different CPU? (Shades of Crusoe.) Change its identification numbers?
