I've not studied the attack code but this appears to be mostly
correct. Our shortest-term plan to address this is to contain [1] the
web browser; this is part of the 2.0 milestone on our roadmap [2].

On the longer term, we are interested in evaluating how VM-based
approaches can be put to good use within our design goals. If you're
interested, help [3] is much welcome!
