VMSCM: Virtual Machine Supply Chaining Multi-part Series

I will be writing these series at ITToolBox, a CEB (NYSE:EXBD) subsidiary.

Quoting myself:

So we have briefly, discussed this problem ans surely there is more than meets the eye. I am sure a lot of firms (established and new) are adopting all kinds of research methodologies" to get into this market. A lot of them are using, and I would definitely recommend, given the current horizontalized global market which is not an easy place to be around if you have a weak stomach, to adopt a more "Adventurous or Exploratory Research Designs". I have spoken to one firm called Embotics and they are really very much into this, doing it closely with their partners, so a lot of things are happening behind closed doors. lot of insights are being shared (and leaked too! - to China, India, S. Africa etc, don't forget you are in a global market , with connectivity, ideas can flow in "all directions"). Today I will be talking to another start-up firm which is attempting to solve part of that Supply Chaining Puzzle. or can I dare to even compare it to the "Virtual Caliphate", something which US Govt used to attempt to identify the terror networks that took advantage of the infrastructure to spread mayhem.
Check it out!

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...
