Dirty COW (CVE-2016-5195) is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. The bug has existed since around 2.6.22 (released in 2007) and was fixed on Oct 18, 2016.

“A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel’s memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write (COW) breakage of private read-only memory mappings. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system.” (RH)

Oggi inizia ufficialmente il VMworld EU 2016, con la giornata dedicata ai vari partner (considerando anche la ricollazione dell’evento globale Partner Exchange).

Come ci dovremo aspettare da questo VMworld? Qualche annuncio c’è già stato, in particolare l’annuncio relativo alla partnership con Amazon per l’offerta di public cloud. Ma durante l’evento ci dovremo aspettare (finalmente dopo 3 edizioni di VMworld, contanndo sia quelle americane che quelle europee) qualche novità sulla nuova versione di VMware vSphere. Inevitabilmente ci saranno maggiori informazioni (rispetto a quelle già annunciate all’edizione americana) e forse anche nuovi annunci su tutta la parte SDDC (includendo anche VSAN e NSX) e la parte CNA.
