It's a super good bug! I just don't follow the exploitation details all the way. I know more than one cloud provider panic-bounced their fleet in response to it, and I think that was the right call.

There's for sure a real bug.

It just bothers me that the proof of concept starts with the assumption that host physical memory is mapped into guest physical memory at 2^39. If you can't talk about the actual exploit yet, I get it , but don't write a blog post with something like that called a "proof of concept" when the code shows no exploit, and you're obviously dancing around the actual novel exploit here in the chain. Just keep it in your pants until the disclosure window.
