Linux Terminal Server : Thin Client Computing in Application Mode



Alrite fellas, here I tried at home running the Terminal Server/Services on RHEL 3 on a application mode. What you'll be needing is...
  • CUPS/Samba running on your Terminal Server (To print your work locally)
  • Share your printer over network(if you have one) or just have cups find it locally.
  • You'll need OpenOffice installed on your Linux Server.
  • NX Client binary on your machine
  • NX Server installed on your server. (see the following post Setting up FreeNX )
This is actually rather simple and cool, just follow these print screens to follow the whole setup and run scenario!

And voila you have a not only running OpenOffice writer program but also you can print it locally.


Starting up the OpenOffice application



Setting up the printer



And working with it!



Enjoy!

PS: We will try more applications on terminal services in the coming days.

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.
