Is it possible to use this exploit against a kvm guest to read memory used by
the host?  In other words: if an exploitable service, say httpd with mod_ssl,
is running in guest system 'vm1' hosted on system 'virthost' then what
implications does that have with respect to guests vm2 and vm3 and to virthost
itself?
