VMware stock continues to rise

I told you, the stock is bound to reach $200. Take it or leave it!

“Given the recent run in the stock, we believe investrs are fully expecting a solid beat and would likely be disappointed with less than $345-$350 million revenue,” which would be up 82%-85%, versus the consensus of $331 million.

Renouard says that some resellers surveyed noted that “very recent discounting…was unusually aggressive,” with some deals at 50% off list price. “While we don’t think VMW will miss the quarter, we were surprised to hear of more aggressive tactics,” he writes. Renouard maintains a Neutral rating on the stock.

VMware, though, marches ever higher. The stock today is up $2.71, or more than 3%, at $87.71. The company’s previous high was $85.52. At the current price, the company has a market cap of $33.6 billion. Meanwhile, shares of EMC (EMC), which owns about 86% of VMware’s stock, are unchanged at $20.80.

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.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
