Desktop Virtualization: Lenovo launches Client Virtualization Platform (CVP)


“Our new client virtualisation technology underscores Lenovo's commitment to innovation,” said George He, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Lenovo. “Our leadership in PC virtualisation will enable us to optimise PC systems for virtualised applications and give our customers access to more efficient, more stable and better performing virtualisation solutions in the near future.”

In contrast with the standardisation of PC hardware, the application software environment is becoming increasingly complex, vulnerable and costly to manage for both commercial enterprises and consumers. Lenovo’s Client Virtualization Platform will enable and accelerate the deployment of a variety of innovative commercial and consumer applications that insulate customers from complexity, while improving performance and reducing cost.

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
