This means that a backend might reside in a less trusted environment than the Xen core components, so a backend should not be able to do harm to a Xen guest (it can still mess up I/O data, but it shouldn't be able to e.g. crash a guest by other means or cause a privilege escalation in the guest). Unfortunately many frontends in the Linux kernel are fully trusting their respective backends. This series is starting to fix the most important frontends: console, disk and network. It was discussed to handle this as a security problem, but the topic was discussed in public before, so it isn't a real secret.
