These results are all related-key attacks. (Quoting a famous
cryptanalyst, "related-key attacks are what you publish if you
couldn't get any real attack.")
Whether these techniques can be extended beyond related-key attacks
is anyones guess, it currently seems that it would be very hard to
do so. So AES is safe, at least for now.
