Re: [Xen-users] Xen Security

I have no idea how you could actually PROVE that there's no possible way 
someone could break out of a dom U into the dom 0. As I've written 
before, since Xen is out and about in such a large way (being the 
underpinning of Amazon EC2) that if there was a major risk of this, we'd 
have seen it happen already.
