This certification enables Data Electronics to join the VMware Service Provider Programme with expert capability to provide Irish customers with the benefits of virtualisation through a hosting model.
The benefit of using a Certified VMware Hosted Data Centre focuses primarily on the capability to eliminate server sprawl by converting physical machines into fully functional virtual machines. This, in effect, radically increases the overall efficiency of hardware, reducing space requirement and maintenance, while increasing overall performance and reliability, with guaranteed business continuity. Virtualisation also allows companies to massively consolidate separate incidences of Windows, Unix or Linux.
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.
