VMware
on Tuesday announced that a single file from its ESX server hypervisor
source code has been posted online, and it held out the possibility that
more proprietary files could be leaked in the future. "The
fact that the source code may have been publicly shared does not
necessarily mean that there is any increased risk to VMware customers," VMware said in a statement.

potentially have a broad and widespread impact, according to security
researchers. VMware says it is looking into the matter and will be
canvassing its industry partners and developers in order to determine
the source of the breach.
