Sometimes is browse phoronix.com for some "exciting Linux news"
There were several posts in the past 24 hours on some Intel/AMD vulnerabilities. Does this impact OpenWRT? (there seem to be Linux patches out)

Just curious

There's a only the root account anyway, if you've managed to logon, you don't really need the exploit.
No, my router doesn't have an AMD/INTEL CPU. Who is using Zen CPUs for routing anyway? ;- )
Mine does, but it's not among the CPUs affected...
Routers are not supposed to execute untrusted code. Real attack scenario would be very hard to imagine.
"AMD believes โInceptionโ is only potentially exploitable locally"
The DOWNFALL attack got me thinking about where you could possibly use AVX in a router. I can see it being used in a backend machine, analyzing traffic patterns and doing various ML tasks to create rules for DPI packages or patterns for DoS analyzers or whatever, but I don't see it ever being used directly on the edge/router device itself. Anybody got a better view on this?
