A few people have mentioned that this was a bit terse. It's "Final's"
night for a lot of people who watch collage basketball I hear, so I'll
leave you with just a quick bullet list and expand on it tomorrow:

1. What you're seeing in the movie is shellcode executing on a Host
from a driver that runs in a Guest.
2. If you're running the latest update of Workstation, you're patched.
3. ESX/ESXi is not vulnerable, to my knowledge.
4. The exploit is amazing, and at some point Kostya will do a talk on it.
5. As you can see in the movie, the exploit defeats DEP/ASLR on Vista
SP1 to go from guest to host. The exploit also works on Linux, but
ScreenFlash doesn't.

More on exploits and such tomorrow.

Kostya Kortchinsky's CLOUDBURST exploit is now available to CANVAS
Early Update subscribers. It is patched in the latest versions of
VMWare workstation and VMWare Player, etc.
