Storage Academy events will be divided into two conference tracks and an exhibition area. Track One presentations are completely vendor neutral and will be delivered by SNIA representatives while Track Two presentations will be delivered by conference sponsors and include vendor-specific material.
The new, one-day format, has been adopted by SNIA ANZ as other SNIA groups worldwide have had considerable success with events of this type.
The Storage Academy program for 2008 will commence with the following dates:
* Sydney Hilton -- 18th March 2008
* Auckland Langham -- 26th March 2008
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.
