Store the per-core implementer/part/arch/variant/revision lists
space-separated (no embedded newlines, which also cleans up JSON and
prometheus output) and dedup them for the human-readable display, so
homogeneous systems show e.g. "0x41" instead of repeating it per core.

CVE_REGISTRY gains an optional fifth field that tags checks as x86-only or
arm-only, untagged entries apply everywhere. The main CVE dispatcher and the
affectedness summary both skip gated entries in default "all CVEs" runs,
removing the noise of arm64 errata on x86 hosts and of x86 CVEs on ARM hosts
across text, json, nrpe and prometheus outputs. Explicit --cve/--variant/--errata
selection bypasses the gate so manual queries still run anywhere.
The gate honours no-hw mode by ignoring the host CPU and keying off the
inspected kernel's architecture only, which handles cross-arch offline
analysis driven by --kernel/--config/--map.

AMD Zen 1-3 CPUs don't flush return predictions on IBPB, allowing
cross-process Spectre attacks even with IBPB-on-entry active. The kernel
fix (v6.12+, backported) adds RSB fill after IBPB on affected CPUs.
Detect this gap by checking CPUID IBPB_RET bit and kernel ibpb_no_ret
bug flag, and flag systems relying on IBPB without the RSB fill fix.

- added `--kernel-config` support for all three Kconfig variants seen over all kernel versions up to now
- added `--kernel-map` support for `gds_select_mitigation` in `System.map`
- fixed the `--sysfs-only` mode
- added verbose information about remediation when `--explain` is used
- implemented `--paranoid mode`, requiring `GDS_MITIGATION_LOCKED` so that mitigation can't be disabled at runtime
- fixed offline mode (was wrongly looking at the system `dmesg`)
- better microcode status reporting (enabled, disabled, unsupported, unknown)
- fixed unknown (EOL) AVX-capable Intel family 6 CPUs now defaulting to affected
- fixed 2 missing known affected CPU models: INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE_L and INTEL_FAM6_SKYLAKE
- fixed case when we're running in a VM and the hypervisor doesn't let us read the MSR

**Why out of scope:** Not a transient or speculative execution vulnerability — this is an access-control flaw in a hardware debug/test interface (CWE-1191), with no side-channel or speculative execution component, and it requires a privileged attacker. There is no Linux kernel sysfs entry, no CPUID flag, and no kernel-side mitigation: the fix is delivered as platform/PSP firmware and proven via remote attestation against AMD's Key Distribution Service (KDS), with several SKUs marked "no fix planned." None of this is detectable by this tool, which inspects OS-loadable microcode revisions, CPUID/MSR bits, kernel capabilities, and sysfs.
## CVE-2026-46174 — AMD Zen 2 Op Cache Improper Resource Isolation
- **Bulletin:** [AMD-SB-7052](https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7052.html) (CPU OP Cache Corruption)
- **Kernel fix:** [commit 1e23b30a80b1](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1e23b30a80b14e5764657401ee2cca030525ae8e) — `x86/CPU/AMD: Prevent improper isolation of shared resources in Zen2's op cache`
- **Affected CPUs:** AMD Zen 2
- **CVSS:** 8.8 (High)
Resources in the Zen 2 micro-op (op) cache can be improperly shared, causing instruction corruption that may be leveraged to execute instructions at a higher privilege level (userspace-to-kernel escalation). The Linux fix sets a bug-fix bit (bit 33) in the AMD `BP_CFG` model-specific register (`0xc001102e`) via `msr_set_bit()` in `init_amd_zen2()`, and only on bare metal (skipped when `X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR` is set, as the mitigation is the host's responsibility for guests).
**Why out of scope:** Not a transient or speculative execution vulnerability — this is an op-cache resource-isolation bug that causes *instruction corruption* (an integrity/correctness erratum), with no side-channel or speculative data-leak component, which places it outside the vulnerability class this tool detects. It is also undetectable by this tool's standard framework: the kernel deliberately adds no `/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/` entry, no `X86_BUG_*` flag (so nothing in `/proc/cpuinfo`), no dmesg message, and no kernel command-line parameter. The mitigation is an unconditional inline MSR bit-set with no greppable named symbol, so it leaves no handle for no-runtime (kernel image / `System.map`) detection. The only possible check would be a live read of `BP_CFG` bit 33, which requires root and the `msr` module, works on bare metal only (guests report `N/A`), and would be a bespoke one-off outside the established CVE-detection model — the same situation as the [JCC Erratum](#no-cve--jump-conditional-code-jcc-erratum) below, but for AMD.
