Local Indian college holds VMware workshop

A two-day workshop on “Server Virtualization Technology – the latest trend in Industry” was organized by the department of Computer Science and Engineering, MIT as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) here on Thursday October 11.

The two-day workshop is a joint endeavor of VMware and department of Computer Science & Engineering, MIT, sponsored by VMware and Tata Consultancy Services. It consists of several lecture sessions along with a hands-on interactive lab experience on virtualization for around 106 participants and delegates.

The workshop was inaugurated by Dr HS Ballal, pro-chancellor, Manipal University. Dr SS Pabla, pro-vice-chancellor, Manipal University and director, MIT presided over the ceremony. Dilip Khandekar, an expert from VMware, Pune was the guest of honour.

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.

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...
