VMW is one such stock. The software maker came public last week at $29 a share and closed 76% higher its first day, for this year's best debut. It's now up more than 140% from the IPO price.While it may be tempting to try to buy a surging stock early, it's prudent to wait until it sets up in an initial base.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company's software helps servers run more efficiently. VMware has been profitable since 2003, when it earned a penny a share. That rose to 4 cents, 18 cents and 23 cents the past three years for a three-year earnings growth rate of 111%.
Sales growth accelerated the past four quarters, from 62% to 71% to 88% to 99% to 100%
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.
