Re: Venom
This does not affect us because of the configurations we use.
We're a member of the Xen pre-disclosure list, so we see and review serious security problems early on. We've rolled out two patches globally over the last year that required rebooting every machine, and it has been disruptive for our customers, so I was glad that this one didn't hurt us.
Some security companies that discover bugs really go all-out on the marketing nowadays. Special trademarked logos, special names (in this case, one that doesn't make much sense but sure sounds cool), custom websites on their own domains, press releases...
