VMware recently addressed several serious security flaws in their products, including ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion.

CVE-2025-22224: This critical flaw allows attackers to send malicious data to the system, causing it to behave unpredictably.

CVE-2025-22225: This vulnerability lets attackers write data into restricted areas of the system. By doing so, they can escape the virtual machine's sandbox (a protective barrier) and gain unauthorized access to the host system.

CVE-2025-22226: This flaw allows attackers to read sensitive information from the system's memory.

That's so freaking weird lol... on one of my #Proxmox nodes, I had started a test VM (#RockyLinux/#RHEL), and I was installing a single package on it, and for wtv reason that ended up powering off ALL other VMs on that Proxmox node other than that one test node.

I've never had this happen before in my
#homelab, on Proxmox or #ESXi, but it's incredibly concerning for sure lol. I have some critical stuffs on it too like my #TrueNAS server, some of #Kubernetes nodes, etc. and to have them just... power off like that without any alerts or logs explaining it, not on the GUI anyway, is insane.

A new version of check_esxi_hardware, an #opensource monitoring plugin to monitor the hardware of Broadcom #ESXi servers, was just released.

The latest version improves exception handling from the pywbem Python module and also added HTTP exception handling.

To ensure backward compatibility for users using older and newer pywbem versions, the #monitoring plugin now requires the "packaging" Python module.

More details in the blog post. 👇

I have an old NUC 11 that I think is failing. I run ESXi on it, the free version. It has 32GB of ram, 1x 1TB SSD and 1x 2TB SSD. Can anyone recommend a good replacement?

I am sure a lot of people will also recommend Proxmox over ESXi, but I have to run some images that are only ESXi.

Any suggestions would be most welcome
