3. Problem Description
a. VMware vmkernel third party e1000 Driver Packet Filter Bypass
There is an issue in the e1000 Linux driver for Intel PRO/1000
adapters that allows a remote attacker to bypass packet filters.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-4536 to this issue.
Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.

b. ESX third party update for Service Console kernel
This update for the console OS kernel package resolves four
security issues.
1) IPv4 Remote Denial of Service
An remote attacker can achieve a denial of service via an
issue in the kernel IPv4 code.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-1188 to this
issue.
2) SCSI Driver Denial of Service / Possible Privilege Escalation
A local attacker can achieve a denial of service and
possibly a privilege escalation via a vulnerability in the
Linux SCSI drivers.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3080 to this
issue.
3) Kernel Memory Management Arbitrary Code Execution
A context-dependent attacker can execute arbitrary code via
a vulnerability in a kernel memory handling function.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-2240 to this
issue.
4) e1000 Driver Packet Filter Bypass
There is an issue in the Service Console e1000 Linux driver
for Intel PRO/1000 adapters that allows a remote attacker to
bypass packet filters.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-4536 to this
issue.
Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.

ESX 3.0.3 ESX patch pending
* hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Fusion.
c. Multiple vulnerabilities in mount.vmhgfs
This patch provides a fix for the following three security
issues in the VMware Host Guest File System (HGFS). None of
these issues affect Windows based Guest Operating Systems.
1) Mount.vmhgfs Information Disclosure
Information disclosure via a vulnerability that allows an
attacker with access to the Guest to determine if a path
exists in the Host filesystem and whether it is a file or
directory regardless of permissions.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2146 to this
issue.
2) Mount.vmhgfs Race Condition
Privilege escalation via a race condition that allows an
attacker with access to the guest to mount on arbitrary
directories in the Guest filesystem and achieve privilege
escalation if they can control the contents of the mounted
directory.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-1787 to this
issue.
3) Mount.vmhgfs Privilege Escalation
Privilege escalation via a procedural error that allows an
attacker with access to the guest operating system to gain
write access to an arbitrary file in the Guest filesystem.
This issue only affects Solaris and FreeBSD Guest Operating
Systems.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-2145 to this
issue.
VMware would like to thank Dan Rosenberg for reporting these
issues.
Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.

ESX 3.5 ESX ESX350-201105406-SG*
ESX 3.0.3 ESX not affected
*After the update is applied VMware Guest Tools must be
updated in any pre-existing non-Windows guest operating
systems.
d. VI Client ActiveX vulnerabilities
VI Client COM objects can be instantiated in Internet Explorer
which may cause memory corruption. An attacker who succeeded in
making the VI Client user visit a malicious Web site could
execute code on the user's system within the security context of
that user.
VMware would like to thank Elazar Broad and iDefense for
reporting this issue to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2011-2217 to this issue.
Affected versions.
The vSphere Client which comes with vSphere 4.0 and vSphere 4.1
is not affected. This is any build of vSphere Client Version
4.0.0 and vSphere Client Version 4.1.0.
VI Clients bundled with VMware Infrastructure 3 that are not
affected are:
- VI Client 2.0.2 Build 230598 and higher
- VI Client 2.5 Build 204931 and higher
The issue can be remediated by replacing an affected VI Client
with the VI Client bundled with VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 6 or
VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 6a.
