Interesting.
Going back to the original question, I was thinking yesterday that for belt and braces you could always run a potentially vulnerable (in this case Win XP) VM from within a Linux container or chroot jail.
I'd never heard of such a thing so I've just looked that up. I see that Oracle show the details here - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E36387/html/ol_cj_sec.html so I might have a crack at that for XP VBox setup.
Is there anything else I should think about to protect not only my linux machine but the VBox setup too?
A followup to this in case anybody else is considering doing it and that's this site - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail
What concerns me here is the last line where it says "Oh yeah, you'll also want to add root into the vboxusers group, since that's what VirtualBox will actually run as:"
Should I be concerned about that, or not?
