(CVE-2007-4496) This release fixes a denial of service vulnerability that could allow a guest operating system to cause a host process to become unresponsive or exit unexpectedly. (CVE-2007-4497) Thanks to Rafal Wojtczvk of McAfee for identifying and reporting these issues. II Hosted products DHCP security vulnerabilities addressed This release fixes several vulnerabilities in the DHCP server that could enable a specially crafted packets to gain system-level privileges. (CVE-2007-0061, CVE-2007-0062, CVE-2007-0063) Thanks to Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith of the IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force for discovering and researching these vulnerabilities. III Windows based hosted product vulnerability in IntraProcessLogging.dll and vielib.dll. This release fixes a security vulnerability that could allow a malicious remote user to exploit the library file IntraProcessLogging.dll to overwrite files in a system. (CVE-2007-4059) This release fixes a security vulnerability that could allow a malicious remote user to exploit the library file vielib.dll to overwrite files in a system. (CVE-2007-4155) Thanks to the Goodfellas Security Research Team for discovering and researching these vulnerabilities. IV Escalation of privileges on Windows hosted systems This release fixes a security vulnerability in which Workstation was starting registered Windows services in an insecure manner. This vulnerability could allow a malicious user to escalate user privileges. Thanks to Foundstone for discovering this vulnerability. V Potential denial of service using VMware Player This release fixes a problem that prevented VMware Player from launching. This problem was accompanied by the error message VMware Player unrecoverable error: (player) Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) has occurred. VI ESX Service Console updates a. Service console package Samba, has been updated to address the following issues : Various bugs were found in NDR parsing, used to decode MS-RPC requests in Samba. A remote attacker could have sent carefully crafted requests causing a heap overflow, which may have led to the ability to execute arbitrary code on the server. (CVE-2007-2446) Unescaped user input parameters were being passed as arguments to /bin/sh. A remote, authenticated, user could have triggered this flaw and executed arbitrary code on the server. Additionally, this flaw could be triggered by a remote unauthenticated user if Samba was configured to use the non-default username map script option. (CVE-2007-2447) Thanks to the Samba developers, TippingPoint, and iDefense for identifying and reporting these issues. Note: These issues only affect the service console network, and are not remote vulnerabilities for ESX Server hosts that have been set up with the security best practices provided by VMware. http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/726 b. Updated bind package for the service console fixes a flaw with the way ISC BIND processed certain DNS query responses. ISC BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. Under some circumstances, a malicious remote user could launch a Denial-of-Service attack on ESX Server hosts that had enabled DNSSEC validation. (CVE-2007-0494) Note: These issues only affect the service console network, and are not remote vulnerabilities for ESX Server hosts that have been set up with the security best practices provided by VMware. http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/726 c. This patch provides updated service console package krb5 update. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the names CVE-2007-2442, CVE-2007-2443, and CVE-2007-2798 to these security issues. Thanks to Wei Wang of McAfee Avert Labs discovered these vulnerabilities. Note: The VMware service console does not provide the kadmind binary, and is not affected by these issues, but a update has been provided for completeness. d. Service console update for vixie-cron This patch provides an updated service console package vixie-cron. Cron is a standard UNIX daemon that runs specified programs at scheduled times. A denial of service issue was found in the way vixie-cron verified crontab file integrity. A local user with the ability to create a hardlink to /etc/crontab could potentially prevent vixie-cron from executing certain system cron jobs. (CVE-2007-1856) Thanks to Raphael Marichez for identifying this issue. e. Service console update for shadow-utils This patch provides an updated shadow-utils package.

Neel Mehta and Ryan Smith (IBM ISS X-Force) discovered that the DHCP server contains an integer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0062), an integer underflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0063) and another error when handling malformed packets (CVE-2007-0061), leading to stack-based buffer overflows or stack corruption. Rafal Wojtczvk (McAfee) discovered two unspecified errors that allow authenticated users with administrative or login privileges on a guest operating system to corrupt memory or cause a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-4496, CVE-2007-4497). Another unspecified vulnerability related to untrusted virtual machine images was discovered (CVE-2007-5617). VMware products also shipped code copies of software with several vulnerabilities: Samba (GLSA-200705-15), BIND (GLSA-200702-06), MIT Kerberos 5 (GLSA-200707-11), Vixie Cron (GLSA-200704-11), shadow (GLSA-200606-02), OpenLDAP (CVE-2006-4600), PAM (CVE-2004-0813, CVE-2007-1716), GCC (CVE-2006-3619) and GDB (CVE-2006-4146). Impact : Remote attackers within a guest system could possibly exploit these vulnerabilities to execute code on the host system with elevated privileges or to cause a Denial of Service. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 28262 published 2007-11-20 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/28262 title GLSA-200711-23 : VMware Workstation and Player: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2007-0310.NASL description From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0310 : A updated openldap packages that fix a security flaw is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
