Some of the comments here talk about the risk this poses for multi tenant vm providers.

Wouldn't this also be a risk for people using VMs to sandbox untrusted code running on trusted hosts?

In that case you'd have to combine this vulnerability with a local privilege escalation to reach guest kernel mode.

Also the vulnerability requires enabling nested virtualization on the VM.
