From ThreatPost:
‘VENOM’ Flaw in Virtualization Software Could Lead to VM Escapes, Data Theft
Researchers have uncovered a vulnerability in an obscure component of many virtualization platforms that they say can allow an attacker to escape from a guest virtual machine and gain code execution on the host, as well as any other VMs operating on that machine. Experts say the bug affects a wide variety of virtualization software running on all major operating systems.
Update:
According to Dan Kaminsky via Slashdot it appears that VMware, Hyper-V & Bochs are unaffected by this.
The purpose of this blog is to help small-medium businesses (SMB's) deal effectively with their unique cyber security needs. With over 15 years experience in IT and cyber security I will show SMB's how they can leverage their limited resources to develop effective cyber defenses to the most common threats using information security best practices and no/low cost tools.
