Back to blogging!

I've been on two excellent weeks in Normandy, France (Isigny Sur Mer) with wife and kids. And obviously I was NOT blogging, although I bought daily the Financial Times newspaper to keep up with the latest news on:

- M&A
- Globalization
and lots.

So obviously I have already figured out how we can move from our stove-pipe global economy to the Novo- Global Economy with the "Regulated Jar'ing'). I drew sketches at the back of the newspaper and will soon be posting the framework online as soon as I have the images copied from my cell phone to my laptop.

But the vacation was great, we were at a camping and had a great time drinking Cider, Calvados and eating lots of local delicacies, like dairy products etc.

Expect power blogging to resume.

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...
