A new security threat is getting some headlines. It is called VENOM (Virtualized Environment Neglected Operations Manipulation).
This is a serious security hole, which allows an attacker to move from within one virtual machine, across the virtual host, and into other virtual machines.
The vulnerability affects the decade-old free and open source hypervisor called Quick Emulator (QEMU).
VMWare and Microsoft Hyper-V are not affected by the VENOM vulnerability.
