We have discovered a vulnerability in the Xbox 360 hypervisor that allows
privilege escalation into hypervisor mode. Together with a method to inject
data into non-privileged memory areas, this vulnerability allows an attacker
with physical access to an Xbox 360 to run arbitrary code such as alternative
operating systems with full privileges and full hardware access.
Great Scott ... no wonder Microsoft is terrified! Do you realize what this
means?? It means Solaris 10 on the XBox 360 ... a dream come true!! :-)
