Pelládi: Afaik a "full" virtual machine protects you from this bug, since it only emulates a network card and does not grant direct access to the hardware. I've seen that VirtualBox can emulate a e1000 gigabit adapter, maybe you can try to currupt your virtual NVRAM if you want to.
Something else might happen with para-virtualized machines (like OpenVZ, Xen, para_virt ops etc.) where all virtual instances share one physical instance, that is your real e1000 card in this case. -- [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
