Description
A new domain bypass transient execution attack known as Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) has been found.

An unprivileged, local attacker can use this flaw to infer values returned by affected instructions known to be commonly used during cryptographic operations that rely on uniqueness, secrecy, or both.
