VMware love stories: Sunray marries ESX

Unix Admin reports:

The entire sollution sits in two racks, we will scale to 450 DTU's, and we are in the process of installing a system to support another 1200 dtu's with this configuration. The limitation of the ESX Server is not CPU, but memory. Our Future plans are to migrate to 128GB of RAM, onece the memory becomes available. If you have any questions or want more specifics let me know. We run both LAN dtu's and remote. We have 500 remote Sun Rays that are BootP relayed to the mothership (Sun ray server) from switches. We have more than 100 dtu's in a building, I put local Sun Ray servers. The windows servers are allways remote and accessed via RDP.

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.

I'm the slave to my own undoings I'm the jester in my courtyard We jest as we run We're strolling on that thin rope we grope as we rope we're true heros we're the survivors we're the scavengers we're the friends we're the lovers we're the unbred Soon awaiting the fall we're lurking on us we're osedaxing us we're soon going to be done we'll soon be arrested *osedax(bone devourer, newly discovered marine genus) feeds on a fallen(sunken) whale carcass(which is also called a whale fall).
