Thread-topic: information leaking between domains via granted pages?
Is there a statement anywhere regarding information that could be leaked
or modified between domains when pages are granted?

Eg, Dom0 sends a network packet to DomU. The network data only uses 64
bytes in the page, but DomU (via a specially crafted netfront driver)
can access and record all the other data in the page...

James
