This as well as today's patch for #ESXi 9.0 fix the #VMEscape vulnerability that was recently demonstrated during #Pwn2own Berlin. Nice to see that both patches are live-patchable! This really helps to get this rolled out quickly.
#VMware #ESXi 8.0 Update 3k, fresh off the press, Release Notes not yet available.

Yes, 9.1 ist considered an update to 9.0, but ... it introduces architectural changes and requires additional resources in the Management cluster (compared to 9.0). So, plan accordingly and read the upgrade guide completely and carefully: techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/…
9.1 is considered an update to 9.0, come up to it to get lots of interesting stuff.

Had to check the date when I woke up ... but it looks like #FreeESXi is now back with the latest 8.0 Update 3e release! 😅 It comes w/an embedded license w/same functions as Free Edition but no need to request key, which is nice! 💿 support.broadcom.com/group/e…

A 9.9 CVE has been announced for Linux 👀 Remote code execution. No details yet. Heartbleed was 7.5, for reference. This is one of the worst in history. All GNU/Linux systems impacted.

#vExpert query: Has anyone tried #vSphere port mirroring from VLAN to a VM's dvs port ("Remote Mirroring Destination")? Is this supposed to work across different hosts? And why would it not?

Sorry for the delays with @ESXiPatches posts ... After some health issues I'm finally back on deck and was able to fix the stuck automation.
