Which of the following is the MOST dangerous type of threat when using virtualization?

  1. VM sprawl Rogue
  2. Rogue VM
  3. VM escape
  4. Virtual NIC duplication

Correct Answer : VM escape

Overall explanation: VM escape refers to malware running on a guest OS jumping to another guest or the host. As with any other software type, it is vital to keep the hypervisor code up-to-date with patches for critical vulnerabilities. VM escape is the biggest threat to virtualized systems. A virtual network interface card (vNIC) represents the configuration of a VM connected to a network. A VM can be configured to have multiple vNICs. A rogue VM is one that has been installed without authorization. VM sprawl is the uncontrolled deployment of more and more VMs.
