[Devil-linux-software] VMware 2.0.2 has been released [freshmeat.net]

[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

barsnick just announced version 2.0.2 of VMware on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

A security vulnerability (reported as CVE-2009-2267) was resolved, which
potentially allowed privilege escalation on the guest operating system during
exception handling. A security vulnerability on Linux host (reported as
CVE-2009-3733) was resolved, which allowed directory traversal. An issue with
the WLK DiskStress test on the LSI Logic virtual device was fixed. An issue
hindering the vmnet-bridge service from being run in the foreground was fixed.

Project description:

VMware allows you to run 'virtual machines' inside a Linux host. It is not an
emulator. It provides a virtual computer within the host which can boot
whichever OS you decide to put on the filesystem image that is used as a
harddrive. It will run DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win9x, WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux,
Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a 400 MHz or better machine,
along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M recommended).
