Oh I get it.
No you don't.
You can use a "trust relationship with your
administrators" to get around the fact that Sun sold a piece of
hardware which does not provide the isolation they promised in their
white papers and documentation.
It is a bug. What you seem to be unable to grasp is that you can
configure the officially supported operating system to mitigate the
effects of that bug. I guess you don't want to accept that because it
diminishes the size of the problem.
Oh you can avoid the problem by using only the vendor recommended
configurations!
Or so you think. A Solaris kernel module could trigger exactly the
same bug.
You'll see... you'll see....
You demand too little from your vendors; you probably get very little
as a result..
