   vSphere Client contains a vulnerability in accepting an updated 
   vSphere Client file from an untrusted source. The vulnerability may 
   allow a host to direct vSphere Client to download and execute an 
   arbitrary file from any URI. This issue can be exploited if 
   the host has been compromised or if a user has been tricked 
   into clicking a malicious link.
