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.

Shared Shaopeng Chen, senior vice president and president, Greater China and Russia Geo, Lenovo, “Customers are asking for new solutions to everyday computing challenges like secure e-commerce and isolation of enterprise applications, and this client virtualisation technology will allow us to deliver even more innovative new products.”

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.

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...
