The keyword here being "VM".

All the Linux vulnerabilities seem to require XeN for the bug to appear:

A virtual machine is no more secure than the underlying host operating system.

I wish a group with the mind-set of OpenBSD (or more stringent) would create a decent open source virtual machine environment...
