What is a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)?
We explain in depth what Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is, its advantages, types, implementation and how you can digitize your company’s workplaces with this solution.
Security bug found in Xen hypervisor
A vulnerability in Xen hypervisor has broken the security around multi-tenant environments. It allows Xen hardware virtual machines (HVM) to access data storaged in other HVM-based machines that are located in the same hardware. This bug, which has been registered as CVE-2014-7188, also allows to crash the host.
ARM systems and paravirtualization servers (PV) of the Open Source hypervisor haven't been affected. The only vulnerable systems are x86.
Xen Project has published a patch to solve this problem, which affected big companies, such as Amazon or Rackspace, that had to reboot their virtualized servers.
