2020-11-04 16:02
VMware on Wednesday informed customers that it has released new patches for ESXi after learning that a fix made available last month for a critical vulnerability was incomplete.
VMware said the attacker needs to be on the management network and have access to port 427 on an ESXi machine in order to exploit the flaw.
VMware updated its initial advisory on Wednesday to inform customers that the patches had been incomplete.
New fixes have now been released for ESXi 6.5, 6.7 and 7.0, but patches are still pending for VMware Cloud Foundation, the hybrid cloud platform for managing virtual machines and orchestrating containers.
VMware failing to patch a vulnerability on the first try is not unheard of.
