Hi,

Just reading this:

Xen seems to have a pending patch to be release this week, but people
are speculating now that you could bypass the entire isolation process
provided by any hypervisor.

Wait and see how this will be exploited, but you can be sure there
will be exploits soon in the wild.

The patch for software mitigation seems to be big and performance impacting.

But that would probably mean that containers can be bypassed.

Wait and see,

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
