Other names

Is Virtual Machine listed under other names? Yes.

Microsoft also lists Virtual Machine under more specific names, such as Virtual Machine Manager. Flaws listed only under those names are counted on their own pages, not here. If you run one of these, open its page for its own exploited flaws.

Exploit likelihood

Which Virtual Machine flaws are most likely to be used?

Ranked by the latest exploit-likelihood forecast: the chance each flaw is used in an attack in the next 30 days. A high severity score on its own doesn't tell you that. Flaws shared by many other makers' products are left out.
