Securetek on our radar

Upon clicking the Products and Services, we don't see much, apparently the site is being upgraded.

SecureTek Group Inc. is a fast growing, privately held company that was established in May 2005 in San Antonio, Texas. The main business focus is the provision of Information Technology (IT) "virtualization" products, consulting resources, skills, and consulting services to the Government Market. The company has been at the forefront in delivering effective tactical technology that follows Government IT service mandates to cut IT spending by developing effective and efficient technology in the military. SecureTek Group has achieved growth under the direction of the management team, led by our Board Chairman and President, Mr. Keith Green.

SecureTek Group developed its business goals around service to government clients. Recognizing escalating hardware costs, issues with platform selection, and security and patch issues, SecureTek Group developed a virtualization and consolidation solution called Tech Pak that could be configured and loaded as necessary to support mobile computing needs. The Company's matrixed organization allows for flexibility to rapidly customize Tech Paks to satisfy military requirements at a competitive price.


They apparently also struck a deal with Westar.

Quoting the press release:

Under the agreement, SecureTek will leverage Westar’s expertise in system engineering, software solutions, logistics information management, and IT technical services to support customers who use its enterprise hardware products and systems.

SecureTek will provide customers with its Tech-Pak solutions, which are scalable, manageable, deployable and available at a fraction of current infrastructure costs. Self-contained, Tech-Pak platforms can operate from the controlled environment of a data center, or be transported and quickly assembled in the most remote locations.

“Westar has a history of identifying promising technologies that can help our customers reduce operation and support costs, increase efficiencies and improve readiness. We think SecureTek has the potential to deliver dramatic improvements in these areas as well,” said Westar President Garrett Martz.

SecureTek solutions have been installed in both CONUS and OCONUS locations in support of warfighter integration and training requirements.

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.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
