ASRock has released vBIOS firmware updates for ten Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards built on RDNA 3 architecture. The updates address the AMD-SN-6023 security issue, which AMD and Sapphire had previously addressed with their own firmware releases.
Why it matters
The firmware updates close a security vulnerability in widely used consumer graphics hardware. Board partners such as ASRock, Sapphire, and GIGABYTE are each issuing their own fixes for the same AMD-SN-6023 issue.
ASRock's update covers ten RDNA 3-powered Radeon RX 7000 series models with firmware applied through its ASRVBFlash tool on Windows. The total number of affected cards across all manufacturers was not stated, and no exploitation of the AMD-SN-6023 issue has been reported.
The players
ASRock
ASRock is a Taiwan-based motherboard and graphics card manufacturer that builds Radeon-based boards for the consumer PC market.
AMD
AMD is a U.S. semiconductor company that designs the Radeon GPUs and RDNA 3 architecture used across the affected graphics cards.
Sapphire
Sapphire is a graphics card manufacturer that builds AMD Radeon boards and issued its own firmware update in partnership with AMD.
The details
Users can download the firmware for all ten models directly from ASRock's support page and apply it with the ASRVBFlash tool on Windows. ASRock's tool warns users not to update the vBIOS if their card is already running normally and disclaims responsibility for any resulting damage.
Timeline
Earlier in November 2026: Sapphire and GIGABYTE issued vBIOS updates for Radeon RX 7000 series cards.
Week of November 2, 2026: ASRock issued vBIOS updates for ten RDNA 3 graphics cards.
The Tech Race
ASRock's update follows AMD's advisory AMD-SN-6023 and the Sapphire firmware release issued in partnership with AMD. It extends that remediation across another board partner's Radeon RX 7000 series lineup.
Owners of the ten listed Radeon RX 7000 series cards can download ASRock's firmware and apply it with ASRVBFlash on Windows. ASRock advises against updating if the card already runs normally, so owners should check whether the fix applies to their hardware first.
The takeaway
Graphics card owners should confirm whether their specific model is covered before applying a vBIOS update. Board partner firmware releases can differ, so checking the manufacturer's support page is the reliable way to verify a fix.
