The flaw allows attackers to break down barriers between
users sharing the same processor, potentially accessing
private data stored in memory.

This is only really relevant for the cloud providers, where multiple

virtualizsation ("private cloud").
I don’t think that’s correct. The BPRC attack breaches user/kernel,
guest/host and application-internal boundaries (i.e. it undermines
IBPB). Much wider impact than cloud service providers.
