[Xen-users] CentOS5.1, Each xen image contain its own kernel, any security issue?




The default CenOS 5.1 setup will basically install the domU kernel inside its own image. This mean that domU can actually recompile and assign different kernel for it to boot up.

1. If there any security issue to allow user to select their own Kernel ?

2. Is is possible at all, by loading different kernel or modules, the domU user might be able to compromise dom0 ?

Thanks!
