The list of affected products is provided in intel-sa-00334: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00334.html

A flaw was found in the implementation of Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) where a local authenticated attacker with the ability to execute AVX instructions is able to gather AVX register state from previous AVX executions.

This could allow information disclosure of AVX register state.

A flaw was found in Intel processors where a local attacker is able to gain information about registers used for vector calculations by observing register states from other processes running on the system. This results in a race condition where store buffers, which were not cleared, could be read by another process or a CPU sibling. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality where an attacker could read arbitrary data as it passes through the processor.

A flaw was found during cache eviction on some Intel processors which may allow a local attacker to infer cache contents and disclose information through this side-channel.
