File restrictions not met does not, major security problem with Reader shared.

Summary: it is possible to transfer files freely between host and virtual machines, but are not limited to declared Shared Folders.

I'm under VMWare Player 6.0.3 + tools under Win7/32, generally without problems. However, I just found out what seems to be a major security problem; It may have been there for years, I never checked. On a CentOS Linux VM and a Windows XP VM, I put folders always active; two folders are shared, C:\Users\ < name > \Desktop\VMWare (a subdirectory on the desktop) and R:\ (a RAM drive). "Card as a drive in Windows network, you can" is checked in the virtual Windows machine. There is no option for a folder always be not shared, the other only until the next poweroff (re point 2 below). I did some tests and was able to easily drag and drop files from the two virtual machines (running at once) to the host WITHOUT RESTRICTION FOR THE SHARED FOLDERS; I copied the files of the computer desktop virtual on the desktop of the host (not the directory said 'VMWare'), the office of the host on the desktop of the virtual computer and directory host random (C:\TMP) on the virtual machine, and then again to the desktop of the host.

1. serious, important question: the VM seems to have free run of the host, not only in the shared directories.

2. point minor: indicates the VMX (all below dossier_partage) file < sharedFolder0.expiration = "session" > but < sharedFolder1.expiration = "never" >; should not be the same thing, 'never' as records of actions are always enabled?

I have shared folders only through settings, no direct VMX edition. The VMX has:

sharedFolder.maxNum = '2 '.

sharedFolder0.present = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder0.enabled = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder0.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder0.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder0.hostPath = "C:\Users\ < name > \Desktop\VMWare.

sharedFolder0.guestName = ' transfer to '.

sharedFolder0.expiration = "session".

sharedFolder1.present = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder1.enabled = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder1.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder1.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

sharedFolder1.hostPath = "R:\". »

sharedFolder1.guestName = "RamDrive.

sharedFolder1.expiration = "never".

That concerns me; I sometimes deliberately tried to expose virtual machines to viruses, in the hope that there is a Chinese wall between the host and the VM, except for shared directories.

I am dong something wrong, is this expected behavior or is it an error in VMWare Player?

Best wishes

Looks like you're confused shared with drag-and-drop folders.  With shared folders, the host files are mapped in the comments (possibly as a Windows network drive).  Navigate in the comments under \\vmware-host.  Drag-and-drop is a completely independent feature.  There is no restriction on access to the drag-and-drop.  To disable drag-and - drop in VMware Player, power off the virtual computer and add the following to your virtual machine configuration file:

insulation. Tools.Copy.Disable = 'TRUE '.

insulation. Tools.dnd.Disable = 'TRUE '.

insulation. Tools.Paste.Disable = 'TRUE '.

  • Security problem with SPA1x2/SPA232D?

    A few days ago, the new firmware 1.3.2 version (XU) has been updated with both SPA1x2 and SPA232D.

    Release notes claim that the only change - SRTP is deleted. No further details on the problem solved by the latter. No details in most cases means severe bug. Cisco not publish new features just for fun.

    Not to disclose problems with the particular firmware is a bad habit in all cases as undisclosed issue may hurt any particular customer. But in the case of safety functions, related as SRTP, it is simply unacceptable. A business Chinese shit cheap sale for pennies, try to hide issues and put its customer risk. I don't expect any such approach to the Cisco.

    -Should I suppose that there is a severe bug in the implementation of the SRTP Protocol? Is implementation of SRTP Protocol in firmware pre - 1.3.2 (XU) reliable and safe, or should I forget the SRTP Protocol at all?

    Hello Dan,.

    Versions of firmware with the designation of "XU" in the name of the file are the same in all directions with the firmware version corresponding with the exception of the removal of the SRTP feature.

    SRTP cannot be configured (from the graphical user interface based on the web), nor can it be configured remotely via a downloadable xml parameter in the configuration file on the products running firmware XU.

    Advanced encryption features are not permitted in some markets where Cisco ATAs and voice gateways are sold, however, XU firmware is allowed on units ordered for these regions.

    We display publicly shipping firmware for our products and all future maintenance releases will be posted with a firmware version XU and a description of the differences between the release notes.

  • Windows operating system 7/libraries/My Pictures / photos file will not delete and says it is shared and what is not.

    Hello

    I've been browsing the forums for a while now and cannot find something to help with a problem I have.  I recently had a security breach on my computer and some nasty viruses.  I performed a complete re install and format.  I bought an external drive to backup everything.  I cleaned the virus and malware better I was able with the help of a friend and my brother then put my photos, music and documents on the external hard drive.  Did the factory reset and runs my Eset on the computer at the same time so the external hard drive.  Nothing showed up, and I'm sure that I'm safe and secure.

    The problem I have is in a file named "Images" that I had made myself with in "My pictures" in the library directory.  I did a cut of my computer and paste it on the external hard drive because I wanted nothing here when I did the installation of the plant.  After that everything was set up I happened to see that pictures of file was still there.  It was curious to me because (I checked) there is no pictures in one file or files of void.  When clicking on properties it says clearly the file is 'shared' which is curious, because I would never share them with anyone.  It's on a computer in my house private network and a secure password wireless modem that I am hard plugged on.  When you click on the tab for sharing on this file, it is clear that the file is not shared.  So you can see my confusion.  If you delete the file he reapears as soon as you click again on the repertoire and to him.  So, basically every time that you remove them it.   Tonight, something different is happening while I was playing around with it, I noticed it seemed to have pictures inside.  When I checked that of course there are maybe 5 to 10 pictures in the files with names on them.  You cannot draw such "update Viewer" everything is updated and you may not remove the 'ghosting' individual

    I think I've covered all of that.  Everyone ran through this and y at - it something I can do to remove this file?

    Thank you very much for this ThrashZone talk with me and help.  I takes care of this for months and was very frustrated.  Something you said on the scene made me watch all my libraries and see what were the parameters.  For some reason any, that my pictures folder has been shared by my videos library so when I changed all settings by default libraries, I think it helped.  Also, I went at this time and were able to see actual images that had been left in the files about 10 or 12.  These photos are not ghosts or I could pull up to remove them, move them.  I took all the photos that I discovered and placed in a file on my desktop.  Then I never renamed file with the main file to a certain number and deleted.  Save it outside the file "remove photos / used.  Then I could delete the file.  I bounced through libraries, and he did not return.  I logged into market and he did not return.  I restarted my computer and it did not return.

    So I hope that he won't be back and I'm at the end.

    Thank you once again! It was truly appreciated.

  • Firefox has only display problems in the upper left region of only my Dell U3011 monitor; the monitor does not have these problems with any other application

    Some parts of the Firefox window are translucent, allowing the image of the desktop to show through. These regions are anything but great internet site central image which behaves normally. Unless the desktop is completely black this problem makes reading the tabs, address bar and the bookmark are difficult if not impossible. I encounter this problem only on my new Dell U3011 monitor. Firefox is the only application that has this issue on the Dell monitor. The monitor built into the laptop that animates the Dell monitor does not exhibit this problem. The laptop is a Lenovo W540 running Windows 7 64-bit. Thank you very much for your help. Steve Schupbach

    Waterboy71 - sorry for a new position, but the forum is read-only (?) so I can't respond to your response to my problem with the installation of the driver/software 8500 A909g.  By your answer on 5/19, I downloaded HPPIW. EXE and it ran.  It detects my wireless printer, but it tells me that "the selected printer is not supported by this wizard."  Is there another thing I can do to install the software so that I can scan and fax from my Windows laptop 8.1?

  • Help for BBM blackBerry Smartphones &amp; Facebook does not not for 9320 - problem with "host Routing Table? -Virgin

    So, today I received my new 9320 at Virgin Mobile, first Blackberry & love the phone! but I can't use the BBM or Facebook app...

    At first I could not even access the browser while that connected to my wifi... then I phoned Virgin & they helped me to reset the settings on my BB that I could use the browser etc...

    I thought it was problem solved, until I discovered BBM and Facebook, use app world separate service? Anyway, I phoned up to Virgin because I wanted to do this job, they are included in my package & I did not understand why I can't access any of them...

    After a long phone call the problem has proved that the "host routing table" was empty and (according to in Virgin) there is a problem with new BlackBerry receiving these details... they said this isn't a problem on the end there & told me there is nothing more they can do so to click 'register now' and wait for the details...

    24 hours later and nothing, so I hope someone here can help me, make me a BB the whole point is things miss me actually lol and I feel now I'm paying for a phone contract I can't really use it, without any help from my provider?

    Any help?

    Or

    Anyone with a new BB knows something like that recently? Thank you

    Wow... Virgin you gave really there. You see, you PAY for 100% of your services and 100% of your formal support... at the moment, they seem to be or you deliver. Only they have the ability (in fact the RESPONSIBILITY!) to degenerate RIM requiring improved support of cases (from your description, it must be that... with a HRT empty, nothing that anyone here can do). End users have no free path to receive assistance from the RIM at all - only via the escalation. So, what I would do if I were you, is their ring back... but this time do not let you fob OFF... insist that, because you HAVE them, you have a contract with them and they are about to be in violation of this contract - they must solve your problem, degenerate into RIM if they wish.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry with Blackberry link or major Bug software's major security problem?

    Like some other assignments, which seem to have been ignored either because the helpful souls here is not an answer or Blackberry are avoid it like the plague! I have an unknown (to me) computer on my screen of BB Link on my Z10. The errant computer's Desktop-32 CF no home not a computer on my network and not a name composed with the last 4 signs in a known mac address authorized connection.

    The link is picking up something else and adding (without my consent or interaction) or someone is able to connect to my Z10 without authorization.

    Absolute silence of a person located at Blackberry is not acceptable. Either it's a major safety or a major bug Miu or both!

    The computer remove incriminated in the side phone of things just seems to withdraw temporarily, because later his law here yet. I cannot interact with this false entry but have seen no indication that it cannot access my phone.

    I did a reinstall of link on my laptop and have even the mysterious Office link. I'm not sure of the identifier, perhaps a unique hard drive MAC or other sign distinctive. I'm looking.

    Whatever it is, is of no interest to me as a security breach. And nor am I surprised without no observation of BlackBerry, this forum is a user support forum user such as quoted in never a page of this forum.

    If I find all the information, I'll post back.

  • Do not understand the problem with My SQL...

    Greetings! Having a bit of a weird problem here...

    We update a Web site that uses forms and a database, and we did this once a year for the last 3 years. The man who worked on this subject before me created the elaborate together thing and then it died while he has put us in an awkward position... In any case... We have this form of quotation, and when the people, fill it out and click on submit, the information is sent to us and we fill then his quote based on the information the customer provides and then send us the quotation to the email they provided in the form. All this is done to a "base". OK so now when I fill out the quote form myself as a test and clicking on send, it says this...

    So by the looks of it, something is wrong in MySQL, am I right? It's something that I know much, but something is not communicate it would seem. He has never done this before.


    In case you wanted to know what it says in 'configHR.php, it contains these lines of code... ".

    Now, it is important to point out that it recently had to change the user name ftp and password with GoDaddy to make changes to this website via Dreamweaver this year. Don't ask me why, they just made to us, and once we reconnect to the site with the new user name and password, this problem started occurring.

    So, what do you think?

    Thank you very much.

    Seems to me that there is a problem with your connection to the MySql database.  If the former web developer used old fashioned MySql connections and your server has been recently upgraded to PHP 5.5, which could explain the gap because the MySql connections are no longer supported in PHP 5.5 +.  To confirm this yourself, create a new page test.php with the following code and download on your remote server.  Then view the results in your browser

  • Need of XLSX files tested to see if there is a problem with the content library

    Hello

    I have a file which causes an error when you use the library of Stellent. The file is a file XLSX and when we open and then save the file again, then does not cause the error. This leads me to believe that the file has been successfully created or something wrong with the library. More than likely it is the file. Is there any tool that I can use to test the file that will tell me what exactly is the problem? The file is automatically generated by a survey company. And so if we can show a problem with the file itself, then they will have to solve the problem in their autogenerator.
