VirtualLogix to demo Real-Time Virtualization for Linux


VirtualLogix VLX for Network Infrastructure enables developers to easily migrate from single-core to multi-core processors by allowing commercial or proprietary RTOSs and Linux OSs to run unmodified on the Intel Core Microarchitecture -- all without disrupting the behavior of their supported applications. Dedicated to delivering the most innovative solutions to the embedded market, VirtualLogix will showcase how its VLX for Network Infrastructure delivers development savings and reduced time to market by re-using existing RTOS code, while maintaining real-time performance and carrier grade quality, as well as scalability across different hardware configurations.

David Beal's presentation "Virtualization in a Carrier-Grade Environment" will discuss the needs and use cases for virtualization in network infrastructure markets where performance and I/O throughput are key parameters that traditional virtualization solutions are not adequately addressing. Beal will cover how to retain the required performance from real-time operating systems, such as MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition and other commercially deployed RTOSs when they are running within a virtualized, shared physical resource environment.

This they plan to do at MontaVista Vision 2007

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...
