@lamw Any feedback on this? I'm thinking about submitting a Feature Request to have all vsish stuff exposed as an esxcli namespace... (at https://t.co/Ke3vFsQ84Z) Would you support this?

[Andreas Peetz🛡️ @VFrontDe]

@lamw It's for monitoring purposes. We recently ran out of TCP/IP heap space memory, causing major hiccups. So I'm checking e.g. for all-time minimums below a threshold and allocation failures.

[Andreas Peetz🛡️ @VFrontDe]

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.

New ESXi 9.1 patch. I guess that includes important security fixes, but there are no details in the RelNotes: https://t.co/mblxMn2rEK

[Andreas Peetz🛡️ @VFrontDe]

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: https://t.co/TjEjWwdav2

[Bob Plankers @plankers]

9.1 is considered an update to 9.0, come up to it to get lots of interesting stuff.

@lamw My fault (@ESXiPatches)😀... Well, you keep changing the version numbering scheme and confuse the hell out of every detection algorithm. ESXi 8.0.3 is Update 3, but 9.0.1 is *not* Update 1 🤷

[Andreas Peetz🛡️ @VFrontDe]

#VMware by #Broadcom #ESXi 9.0 Update 1 is just being released. The RelNotes are not yet accessible.

New patch (U3g) for #VMware #ESXi 8.0 (and vCenter 8.0). Is this a fix for another super critical security vulnerability? Release notes not yet published...: ESXi: https://t.co/LGc2wdNBZs vCenter: https://t.co/3pUtKlqtIj

@alagoutte @virten @ESXiPatches The Imageprofile names still include "ESXi". Well, I don't care really. If they're going to change the name then I would rather expect something like "VCF Hypervisor" ;-)

[Andreas Peetz🛡️ @VFrontDe]

VMEscape vulnerabilities fixed in #VMware #ESXi 9.0, 8.0 (U3f and U2e) and 7.0 (U3w) / Thx to @hi_im_d4rkn3ss @OnlyTheDuck @Reverse_Tactics @MajorTomSec / Follow @ESXiPatches for immediate updates.

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!
