Re: One layer down, infinity to go.
"In what sense are such virtual machines immune from such attacks?"
Well, at some point, the code MUST go through the CPU, meaning it should be able to screen even these. If malicious bytecode or interpreted code causes the compiler or interpreter (both of which are native) to act funny, this should catch it. Anything else and you're looking at high-level malware which will likely have a few other catches involved, but even then if high-level malware is trying to exploit the lower-level stuff, this can still act as a safeguard.
