And there is no way you can stop it!

0-day exploit of the virtualization software from LxLabs caused a big UK-based host, vaserv, to lose 100,000 sites. A visit to their homepage now can see how bad they are being hit and how hard their engineers are working trying to restore the servers. Can’t imagine how many days the engineers would have to go without sleep to restore all those servers. Are there any compatible virtualization software that they can use to move their clients over to?

This is going to be tough. Life as sys admins can be really bad sometimes, especially when it’s not really your fault.

And now the boss of LxLabs is dead, and LxLabs, according to The Register, is also uncontactable, how much damage can they claim from LxLabs?

This is going to affect a lot of people who are being hosted by VAServ, ecommerce sites, web hosting resellers – having to answer to their clients, web developers, companies that host critical services like email servers, etc. And to make matters worse, VAServ is unable to provide any ETA on the restoring work.

I have gone through the list of vulnerabilities as published by milw0rm. The majority of the vulnerabilities are pretty much very fundamental. It’s shocking to think that a software that is used to power so many servers worldwide have such fundamental flaws.
