Original articleUsing an API puts Onaro at VMware's mercy when it comes to what features it can support, but Illuminata Inc. analyst John Webster said Onaro appears to have the complete checklist of features for managing VMware environments.
That checklist includes:
"At first blush, they appear to have all the requirements," Webster said. He also said he was surprised that Onaro has only recently added support for NAS systems with NAS Insight 1.0.
- The ability to connect virtual machines to the storage fabric and disk arrays down to the individual disk level
- The ability to correlate virtual machines to network paths
- A comparative analysis of the performance load virtual machines place on the storage fabric
- A diagnosis of contention issues
- A before-and-after comparison of snapshots of the loads on a particular disk when new VMs are installed
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.
