Hmmm... I don't think traditional sandboxing accomplishes anything here, because we're trying to protect against kernel bugs, not userspace bugs, and if the kernel is compromised then you escape the sandbox. A KVM virtual machine would solve that, certainly, but that sounds really complicated to do? We don't have any precedent for spinning up virtual machines to perform normal desktop operations. Doesn't that require hardware support anyway? i.e. virtualization might be disabled at the firmware level?
