Re: Critical VMWare bug lets attackers zap "real" Windows

I read that before I posted. There is obviously a strained relationship there.
I see no strain at all but a failure by VMWare to maintain a dialog with Core Security which has resulted in VMWare being in the hot seat now and you do not like it.

Now though that the weakness has been blared all over the place prematurely some hacker will try and take advantage so we have to turn off file sharing until the patch is issued
Core Security gave the devs of VM Ware ample time to get their patch released. To bad VMWare failed to maintain a dialog.
quote:
VMWare Workstation and Player are outstanding products and while Core Security tries to intimate that VMWare is dragging their heels in fixing this, I don't believe that is true.
Believe what ever you want to but the facts are are there for all to see. That is those that want to see them.

Kudo to Core Security.
