You can read all about it here:

Short summary: On Intel CPUs starting from i-2000 generation (Sandy Bridge) and maybe also some AMD CPUs with shared L3-Cache (or LLC, Last-Level-Cache) it is possible for a VM to read data which normaly should not be accessible to the VM (like host's data or other VM's data).

Disabling memory de-duplication seems to fix the problem.


Just to let people know, it's not really Proxmox related, but makes sense to post here IMHO.
