Stale Data.
They are a class of MMIO-related weaknesses which can expose stale data
by propagating it into core fill buffers. Data which can then be leaked
using the usual speculative execution methods.
Mitigations include this set along with microcode updates and are
similar to MDS and TAA vulnerabilities: VERW now clears those buffers
too.
