VMware : A Convenient Truth



Cartoon time folks! Diane Greene did push this vision during the VMWorld 2006 and we'll just see how we need to tell this truth to the world (old school of thought would have said: sell this software to potential clients)

Scenario 1: Old School of Thought

Sell the software to potential clients




Scenario 2: New Age for World Citizens

We talk about deeper and long term relationships






Moral of the story: If you have watched Al Gore's movie (documentary?) then you will realize that we are talking about serious issues here. It is not just evangelizing, there are some serious issues here. And obviously productivity and reduced costs will also help us overcome this hurdle smartly and creatively. And while you are at it , do also look for a "safer" ground to place your virtualized datacenters or else you might have to suffer the Mother Nature's wrath! In our next movie I've advised Al Gore to mention VMware..just kidding, but you get my point, I see ;-)

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
