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

I have a brand spankin new version of VMWare Workstation 5.5.6 (92MB download) that fixed six security issues including the Core one. It was available on March 17 for VMWare Workstation5.5 and 6.0 and other VMWare products. I didn't get the update notice then because I had a virtual machine running. I shut it down day before yesterday and just now went to start it again and was notified of the available new version.

So, VMware did stick by what they had promised which was new versions by end of the first quarter of 2008. And we got fixes for 5 OTHER security issues in addition to the Core one (for Workstation 5.5).

Thanks for the info Mele! I didn't know that there was a updated version out untill I saw your post, I have the update checker turned off in mine.
