- Field
- computer security
- What they did
- Researchers discovered a vulnerability in the Linux networking stack that allows a virtual machine (guest system) to access the host system's memory.
- Why it matters
- This enables attackers running inside an isolated environment (such as Vercel's sandbox) to completely break out of the virtual machine and control the host computer.
