For those that would like to test if their systems are affected, this
proof-of-concept was reported to work on at least one system:

https://git.hardenedbsd.org/shawn.webb/zenbleed/-/tree/shawn.webb/bsd/main

Building it depends on gmake and nasm. You'll want to be on the
shawn.webb/bsd/main branch.

Note that this code is simply Tavis' original PoC, just modified
enough to get it to build on FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

Thanks,
