It can affect 32-bit guest OSes running on 64-bit hosts, and that is how they discovered the bug.


A 64-bit host, running a 32-bit guest, itself running a 16-bit app. This scenario can run into the VME bug.


Any exploitation scenarios here?

Could you package a trimmed down version of that stack up and cause a reliable crash on Ryzens operating on a more typical platform?

Maybe it becomes a bit of a rube goldberg malware at that point...


The first part of that is optional, and the last part of that is also optional.


Or a 64bit host running a WinXP guest.
