VMworld 2008: Interviews with CxOs of top Virtualization firms: Second Call!



My list is growing and I am going to be busy planning our interviews. Half of them are planned and I want to cover most of the parties during the partner day, which is coming Monday.

Who are we already talking to?

CirBA (VP)

 Catbird (VP)

 Citrix (Simon Crosby and other execs)

ClearCube (Execs/Strategist)

 Embotics (CEO, VP)

ManageIQ(CEO)*

 Microsoft (Patrick, Mike Neil and Jeff Woolsey)
Microsoft customer's experience with Hyper-V

I'll be missing my friends at:
PanoLogic
Relfex Security
Marathon Technolgies
VMware friends from U.S
VKernel
and many more actually (they are too many to list here)

Note: My schedule is running almost full, so should you want to chip in, do let me know. Or else we'll be closing the interview session planning. (I need to also meet our friends personally over Dinner and have some beer/wine. I have one planned with Veeam and the other with Citrix/Microsoft). These interviews will be conducted for Virtualization.com. We might also end up interviewing the Founder/CEO of Virtualization.com, Mr. Toon Vanagt sometime later.

I'll be issuing a final call on Saturday.

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
