Overview

This analysis evaluates attack vectors affecting guest-to-guest and host-to-guest isolation in hypervisors, suggesting security improvements.

Key Points

  • Type 1 hypervisors perform better against attacks on virtual resources compared to Type 2.
  • Proxmox VE and KVM show superior performance against host-to-guest attacks over other hypervisors.
  • Ongoing evaluation revealed that design faults are the main cause of hypervisor vulnerabilities.
  • The soft memory management unit emerged as the most common attack vector across all studied hypervisors.
