Microsoft Security Advisory (2491888): Vulnerability in Microsoft Malware Protection Engine Could Al
Revision Note: V1.1 (March 8, 2011): Revised advisory FAQ to announce updated version of the MSRT and added Forefront Security for Exchange Server to the list of non-affected software. Advisory Summary:Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to help ensure customers are aware that an update to the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine also addresses a security vulnerability reported to Microsoft. The update addresses a privately reported vulnerability that could allow elevation of privilege if the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine scans a system after an attacker with valid logon credentials has created a specially crafted registry key. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the LocalSystem account. The vulnerability could not be exploited by anonymous users.

hv_vmbus

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

NAME

     hv_vmbus -- Hyper-V Virtual Machine Bus (VMBus) Driver

SYNOPSIS

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

	   device hyperv

DESCRIPTION

     The hv_vmbus provides a high performance communication interface between guest and root partitions in Hyper-V.  Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based
     virtualization technology from Microsoft.	Hyper-V supports isolation in terms of a partition.  A partition is a logical unit of isolation,
     supported by the hypervisor, in which operating systems execute.

     The Microsoft hypervisor must have at least one parent, or root, partition, running Windows Server operating system.  The virtualization
     stack runs in the parent partition and has direct access to the hardware devices.	The root partition then creates the child partitions which
     host the guest operating systems.

     Child partitions do not have direct access to other hardware resources and are presented a virtual view of the resources, as virtual devices
     (VDevs).  Requests to the virtual devices are redirected either via the VMBus or the hypervisor to the devices in the parent partition, which
     handles the requests.

     The VMBus is a logical inter-partition communication channel.  The parent partition hosts Virtualization Service Providers (VSPs) which com-
     municate over the VMBus to handle device access requests from child partitions.  Child partitions host Virtualization Service Consumers
     (VSCs) which redirect device requests to VSPs in the parent partition via the VMBus.  The Hyper-V VMBus driver defines and implements the
     interface that facilitate high performance bi-directional communication between the VSCs and VSPs.  All VSCs utilize the VMBus driver.

HISTORY

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