VMware addresses ESX source code leaks with accelerated security patches

At the end of April, Iain Mulholland, director of the VMware Security Response Center, announced that some of VMware’s confidential source code for the ESX hypervisor had been leaked and a single file had been posted online. That same day, Kaspersky Lab’s ThreatPost blog pointed to a hacker calling himself “Hardcore Charlie” as the person who leaked the VMware ESX hypervisor files.
