It is thought that only VIA C3 CPUs are affected by this issue. The C-series processors are marketed towards industrial automation, point-of-sale, ATM, and healthcare hardware, as well as a variety of consumer desktop and laptop computers.

The scope of this vulnerability is limited; generations of CPUs after the C3 no longer contain this feature.
