As reported by Robert Hackett at Fortune, Crowdstrike has research on a new vulnerability that impacts virtualization. Venom stands for “virtualized environment neglected operations manipulation”. It impacts QEMU, Xen, KVM, and VirtualBox, among others.
(It must be a big deal, as it already has an icon. I think Heartbleed took longer for it’s icon.)
