Virtualization Conference Europe 2008: ProFoss pushes "open talk" in your face!




Profoss is organising events to spread objective information about professional uses of Free and Open Source based solutions, and is looking for speakers for its next event about virtualisation, taking place in Brussels on 22nd and 23rd january.

If you have deployed a Free or Open Source virtualisation technology in a demanding professional environment, if you're a services company with extended expertise with virtualisation, or if you have developed a virtualisation software under an open source license, or built a product based on open source technology, and want to share your experience with your peers, please don't hesitate to submit your proposal as described below.

Talks should not be commercial shows, but bring interesting information for professional ICT users, based on real world experience. Here is an non-exhaustive list of possible subjects: introduction to virtualisation; deployment experiences with Xen, KVM, VirtualBox, Linux vserver, Solaris Zones, Virtuozzo/OpenVZ; support for virtualisation in hardware (eg processors); how to manage the deployment of a virtualisation technology in a company, without falling in the trap of over-virtualisation; the futur of virtualisation; virtualisation on the desktop; security concerns with virtualisation technologies; impact of virtualisation on the enterprise infrastructure, eg network; virtualisation, only for the OS? ; etc.....

If you are in Europe and have a passion for virtualization, then you would not want to miss it! And besides you may also get to see me speak! I do have a stage-fright issue, so go easy on me!

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...
