  It is a CPU bug. The only solution is to RMA the CPU. Just contact AMD.
  They are aware of the issue. All Ryzen CPUs are potentially affected.
  See: https://community.amd.com/thread/215773

There is a Ryzen CPU bugs which causes random segfaults, no doubt.

But not all segfaults on Ryzens are due to that bug.  Firmware fixable
DRAM incompatibilities and other firmware fixable Ryzen bugs can also
cause segfaults.

Therefore, upgrading the BIOS before RMAing is a quite good idea.  After
all, you might already have a Ryzen with the segfault fix.
