Virtualization by Davis: “Oracle VM gains the Challenger Position in Gartner Magic Quadrant” plus 7 more

Oracle VM gains the Challenger Position in Gartner Magic Quadrant

Posted: 21 Jun 2012 03:43 AM PDT

Yesterday Oracle, through its Virtualization Blog, announced the new placement of its Oracle VM in the new Gartner x86 Server Virtualization Infrastructure Magic Quadrant.

The application-driven approach to virtualization that Oracle has kept so far seems to be supported from this result, Oracle itself claims to be supported by strong customer momentum gains originated from the low cost licensing model and easy software access.

Quoting from the press release:

Oracle continues to focus on delivering a strong integrated virtualization with Oracle VM and the managed stack in the following areas:

  • Integrated management with Oracle VM and all layers of the Oracle stack from hardware to virtualization to cloud
  • Application-Driven virtualization with Oracle VM templates for rapid enterprise application deployment
  • Certified Oracle applications on Oracle VM
  • Complete stack solution offering more values to customers

US-CERT reports a security issue in Intel CPUs

Posted: 20 Jun 2012 09:29 AM PDT

Last week, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) reported a vulnerability, on Intel CPU hardware, that could lead to a privilege escalation attack on some 64-bit operating systems and virtualization softwares running on Intel CPU hardware.

In these years many security flaws have affected different virtualization platforms but this episode is remarkable because, originated at the CPU level, affects many different systems and not just a single vendor.

Two days ago US-CERT updated the list of the affected systems, that includes Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, FreeBSD and NetBSD as well as Xen hypervisor, that we report in a "per Vendor" grouping:

Intel claims that this vulnerability is a software implementation issue, as their processors are functioning as per their documented specifications. However, software that does not take the unsafe SYSRET behavior specific to Intel processors into account may be vulnerable.

Wrote US-CERT in its security advisory, fortunately, VMware vSphere, which is still the most common hypervisor in the companies, does not seem to be affected from this problem.
