From 2006 to 2010, my primary role at Google was JavaScript execution in the indexing pipeline. I knew I was likely executing every known JavaScript engine exploit out there plus a good number of 0-days, and ran the javascript engine in a single-threaded subprocess with a greatly restricted set of allowed system calls. Certainly the right combination of kernel zero-days and JS interpreter exploits could be used to take over the machine, but it would be non-trivial.
