tid-208
Vulnerability from emb3d
Description

Virtualization mechanisms allow multiple operating sytem instances to share the same underlying hardware. Hypervisor software is responsible for orchestrating and maintaining the separation between virtual machines (VMs) to ensure that failure or compromise within one VM does not affect others. However, vulnerabilities in APIs and services the hypervisor exposes to guest VMs, the implementation of virtualized hardware abstractions, or other hypervisor components could be used by an adversary to escape the virtualized environments. By escaping the environment, a threat actor could manipulate the underlying hypervisor, operating system, or application/data within other environments hosted on that device.
