We are not giving any new names to the vulns - we're simply making our command line options more readable so that when you have to type them, you either have to remember "srbds" - in that order - or "srb sampling". Latter is easier for me. And yes, spec_store_bypass_disable=3D should've been spec_store_bypass=3D --=20 Regards/Gruss, Boris.
