    "a. VMware Tools Local Privilege Escalation on Windows-based guest OS
    
       The VMware Tools Package provides support required for shared folders
       (HGFS) and other features.
    
       An input validation error is present in the Windows-based VMware
       HGFS.sys driver.   Exploitation of this flaw might result in
       arbitrary code execution on the guest system by an unprivileged
       guest user.  It doesn't matter on what host the Windows guest OS
       is running, as this is a guest driver vulnerability and not a
       vulnerability on the host.
    
       The HGFS.sys driver is present in the guest operating system if the
       VMware Tools package is loaded.  Even if the host has HGFS disabled
       and has no shared folders, Windows-based guests may be affected. This
       is regardless if a host supports HGFS.
    
       This issue could be mitigated by removing the VMware Tools package
       from Windows based guests.  However this is not recommended as it
       would impact usability of the product.
    
       NOTE: Installing the new hosted release or ESX patches will not
             remediate the issue.  The VMware Tools packages will need
             to be updated on each Windows-based guest followed by a
             reboot of the guest system.
    
       VMware would like to thank iDefense and Stephen Fewer of Harmony
       Security for reporting this issue to us.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2007-5671 to this issue.
    
    b. Privilege escalation on ESX or Linux based hosted operating systems
    
       This update fixes a security issue related to local exploitation of
       an untrusted library path vulnerability in vmware-authd. In order to
       exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have local access and
       the ability to execute the set-uid vmware-authd binary on an affected
       system. Exploitation of this flaw might result in arbitrary code
       execution on the Linux host system by an unprivileged user.
    
       VMware would like to thank iDefense for reporting this issue to us.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-0967 to this issue.
    
    c. Openwsman Invalid Content-Length Vulnerability
    
       Openwsman is a system management platform that implements the Web
       Services Management protocol (WS-Management). It is installed and
       running by default. It is used in the VMware Management Service
       Console and in ESXi.
    
       The openwsman management service on ESX 3.5 and ESXi 3.5 is vulnerable
       to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which may allow users with
       non-privileged ESX or Virtual Center accounts to gain root privileges.
    
       To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need a local ESX
       account or a VirtualCenter account with the Host.Cim.CimInteraction
       permission.
    
       Systems with no local ESX accounts and no VirtualCenter accounts with
       the Host.Cim.CimInteraction permission are not vulnerable.
    
       This vulnerability cannot be exploited by users without valid login
       credentials.
    
       Discovery: Alexander Sotirov, VMware Security Research
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-2097 to this issue.
    
    d. VMware VIX Application Programming Interface (API) Memory Overflow
       Vulnerabilities
    
       The VIX API (also known as 'Vix') is an API that lets users write scripts
       and programs to manipulate virtual machines.
    
       Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities are present in the VIX API.
       Exploitation of these vulnerabilities might result in a privilege
       escalation on the host system. This exploit scenario is relevant for all
       affected products. On VC, ESX30x, and ESX35, users need to have the VM
       Interaction Privilege in order to exploit the vulnerability.
    
       Exploitation of these vulnerabilities might also result in code execution on
       the host system from the guest system or on the service console in ESX Server
       from the guest operating system. This exploit scenario is relevant for
       Workstation 6.0.x (version 6.0.3 and below), Player 2.0.x (version 2.0.3 and
       below), ACE 2.0.x (version 2.0.3 and below), Server 1.0.x (version 1.0.5 and
       below), and ESX3.5. The parameter 'vix.inGuest.enable' in the VMware
       configuration file must be set to true to allow for exploitation on these
       products. Note that the parameter 'vix-inGuest.enable' is set to false by
       default.
    
       The parameter 'vix.inGuest.enable' is present in the
       following products :
    
         VMware Workstation 6.0.2 and higher
         VMware ACE 6.0.2 and higher
         VMware Server 1.06 and higher
         VMware Fusion 1.1.2 and higher
         ESX Server 3.0 and higher
         ESX Server 3.5 and higher
    
       In previous versions of VMware products where the VIX API was introduced,
       the VIX API couldn't be disabled.
    
       This vulnerability is present in ESX and the hosted products even if you
       have not installed the VIX API. To patch your system you will need to
       update to the new hosted product version or to apply the appropriate ESX
       patch. It is not necessary to update the VIX API if you have installed
       the VIX API.
    
       VMware would like to thank Andrew Honig of the Department of
       Defense for reporting this issue.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-2100 to this issue.
    
    II Service Console rpm updates
    
     NOTE: ESXi and hosted products are not affected by any service console
           security updates
    
     a. Security update for cyrus-sasl
    
       Updated cyrus-sasl package for the ESX Service Console corrects a security
       issue found in the DIGEST-MD5 authentication mechanism of Cyrus'
       implementation of Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). As a
       result of this issue in the authentication mechanism, a remote
       unauthenticated attacker might be able to cause a denial of service error
       on the service console.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
       assigned the name CVE-2006-1721 to this issue.
    
     b. Security update for tcltk
    
       An input validation flaw was discovered in Tk's GIF image handling. A
       code-size value read from a GIF image was not properly validated before
       being used, leading to a buffer overflow. A specially crafted GIF file
       could use this to cause a crash or, potentially, execute code with the
       privileges of the application using the Tk graphical toolkit.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
       assigned the name CVE-2008-0553 to this issue.
    
       A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in Tk's animated GIF image handling.
       An animated GIF containing an initial image smaller than subsequent images
       could cause a crash or, potentially, execute code with the privileges of
       the application using the Tk library.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
       assigned the name CVE-2007-5378 to this issue.
    
       A flaw first discovered in the Tcl regular expression engine used in the
       PostgreSQL database server, resulted in an infinite loop when processing
       certain regular expressions.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
       assigned the name CVE-2007-4772 to this issue.
    
     c. Security update for unzip
    
       This patch includes a moderate security update to the service console that
       fixes a flaw in unzip. An attacker could execute malicious code with a
       user's privileges if the user ran unzip on a file designed to leverage
       this flaw.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
       assigned the name CVE-2008-0888 to this issue.
    
     d. Security update for krb5
    
       KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not set a global variable
       for some krb4 message types, which allows remote attackers to
       cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
       code via crafted messages that trigger a NULL pointer dereference
       or double-free.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-0062 to this issue.
    
       NOTE: ESX doesn't contain the krb5kdc binary and is not vulnerable
             to this issue.
    
       The Kerberos 4 support in KDC in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5kdc) does not
       properly clear the unused portion of a buffer when generating an
       error message, which might allow remote attackers to obtain
       sensitive information, aka 'Uninitialized stack values.'
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-0063 to this issue.
    
       NOTE: ESX doesn't contain the krb5kdc binary and is not vulnerable
             to this issue.
    
       Buffer overflow in the RPC library (lib/rpc/rpc_dtablesize.c) used
       by libgssrpc and kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.2.2, and probably
       other versions before 1.3, when running on systems whose unistd.h
       does not define the FD_SETSIZE macro, allows remote attackers to cause
       a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by
       triggering a large number of open file descriptors.
    
       The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
       has assigned the name CVE-2008-0948 to this issue."

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-25 (VMware Player, Server, Workstation: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VMware Player, Server, and Workstation. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : Local users may be able to gain escalated privileges, cause a Denial of Service, or gain sensitive information. A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial of Service. Remote attackers also may be able to spoof DNS traffic, read arbitrary files, or inject arbitrary web script to the VMware Server Console. Furthermore, guest OS users may be able to execute arbitrary code on the host OS, gain escalated privileges on the guest OS, or cause a Denial of Service (crash the host OS). Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
