Hello. While I've been enabling virtio-rng since it became available I recently understood that without restrictions a malicious guest can potentially starve other VMs' entropy by overusing /dev/random so I set the rate limit.

Another question comes to mind. Does the way virtio-rng works pose a security risk? - does it allow the guest to spy on the host's entropy pool? (If so I'll have to disable it for untrusted VMs immediately)
