Microsoft Security Advisory (967940): Update for Windows Autorun - 2/8/2011
Revision Note: V2.0 (February 8, 2011): Summary and update FAQ revised to notify users that the 971029 update to Autorun that restricts AutoPlay functionality to CD and DVD media will be offered via automatic updating. Advisory Summary:Microsoft is announcing the availability of updates to the Autorun feature that help to restrict AutoPlay functionality to only CD and DVD media on supported editions of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Restricting AutoPlay functionality to only CD and DVD media can help protect customers from attack vectors that involve the execution of arbitrary code by Autorun when inserting a USB flash drive, network shares, or other non-CD and non-DVD media containing a file system with an Autorun.inf file.

HYPER-V(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						HYPER-V(4)

NAME

     hv_kvp -- Hyper-V Key Value Pair Driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in the system kernel configuration file:

	   device hyperv

DESCRIPTION

     The hv_kvp driver provides the ability to store, retrieve, modify and delete key value pairs for FreeBSD guest partitions running on Hyper-V.
     Hyper-V allows administrators to store custom metadata in the form of key value pairs inside the FreeBSD guest partition.	Administrators can
     use Windows Powershell scripts to add, read, modify and delete such key value pairs.

     The driver is bare bones and merely forwards requests to its counterpart user mode daemon, hv_kvp_daemon(8).  The daemon maintains pools of
     key value pairs and does the actual metadata management.

     The same driver and daemon combination are also used to set and get IP addresses from a FreeBSD guest.

     The set functionality is particularly useful when the FreeBSD guest is assigned a static IP address and is failed over from one Hyper-V host
     to another.  After failover, Hyper-V uses the set IP functionality to automatically update the FreeBSD guest's IP address to its original
     static value.

     On the other hand, the get IP functionality is used to update the guest IP address in the Hyper-V management console window.

HISTORY

     Support for hv_kvp first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.  The driver was developed through a joint effort between Citrix Incorporated, Microsoft
     Corporation and Network Appliance Incorporated.

AUTHORS

     FreeBSD support for hv_kvp was first added by Microsoft BSD Integration Services Team <bsdic@microsoft.com>.
