Running Windows Media Server 2003 on VMware!



A friend asked me to check out if there was a means of running our own Video Streaming.

My Answer was : Of course! And it'll cost you uh well...almost nothing!

I've just tested it at home. And it works like a charm and we're just talking about a simple VMware 5.5 Windows 2003 Server. Streaming goes fine and cool!

I'll upload the print screens tomorrow and write a small document to implement it for your ESX server, although this is pure for demonstration purposes on my VMware 5.5 test server.

After installation of Media Server



Test Streaming...



Check out the url mms:// and I invoking it via my Firefox I get a one time message.



And here streaming the Video via my (laptop)client PC at home, while my server [is in the garage ;-) ] streams it nicely with the unicast mode.



PS: I'll detail out more in the document which you can download sometime later...

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.
