I need to read up more on this, but if someone can explain to me:
1. Is it necessary that just the guest OSes are patched, or does Parallels in fact need its own patch independent of that?
2. So both the guest OSes and Parallels-independently-must be prevented from accessing memory that they shouldn't be?
3. Why does this apply to virtualization software (like Parallels) and not other applications? Is it assumed that only virtualization software, and not other applications, has access to certain areas of the host machine/memory? How can a user tell if this is the case?
4. Has there been any update in the last 2 months from Parallels on this?
Thanks!
