Please be better advised. VMware are being economical with the truth

To whom IT may be of concern.

Successful exploitation of this issue, CVE-2020-3947, leads with/to code execution on the host from the guest and allows attackers to create a denial-of-service condition of the vmnetdhcp service running on the host machine.

There are no ifs, buts or maybes. It is one of Virtualisation’s Achilles Heels and/or Almighty Hammers.

Re: Virgin and Boeing Bong Gone

Can you imagine the dread panic at Boeing nowadays?

So, no, nobody in their right minds should give Boeing even one penny in “short term aid”. Instead, management and the board should be ordered to sell as much stock as they need – you know, the opposite of buying it back – to maintain the business, even it means sending the stock price crashing far lower.

Because it’s called capitalism, and because there is no reason why taxpayers should foot the bill for a company which instead of saving cash when times were good, was handing it out to shareholders and a handful of executives, and which should now for some insane reason be eligible for a bailout when times suddenly go bad.

That makes sense. Is there anybody out in the market anxious to purchase or support a Double Whammy Zombie Ponzi Vampire Squid which leaves you with all the bills and expenses to be paid as they play ?

Re: The NEUKlearer Option ….. in Derivative AI Futures Markets in Support of Quantum Leaping

Here’s some more fun news: even after recovery, I would still very much stay away from US dollar values. They’ve missed the boat, exactly because of their government’s continued aversion to alternative energy sources. …. Anonymous Coward

Here’s a leading question for you, AC …… Are the alternative energy sources, radically private and fundamentally different proprietary intellectual property forces?

Think SMARTR Pirates and proceed from there.
