Does this mean the exploit can be used in a VM to get access to the host machine?

- smaudet 2mo agoNot necessarily. A VM doesn't have a "real" DMA controller, and this exploit is specific to a family of real hardware CPUs. Its not to say that its not impressive, but its fairly isolated to a specific family of processors from 2013.
- odo1242 2mo agoOh, right. I forgot that DMA controllers are virtualized on VMs.
