The kernel/user enforcement by the CPU is a sham (kinda) in Intel CPUs when the data you want to access is in L1 (people are guessing). This is only for the meltdown issue.

Spectre doesn't care about kernel/user at all. So even other CPUs are susceptible. Every CPU that speculates is vulnerable in theory.
