3. Problem description:
Problems addressed by these patches:
a. texinfo service console update
Updated texinfo packages for the service console fix two security
vulnerabilities are now available. A buffer overflow in the the
program texinfo could allow local user to execute arbitrary code in
the service console via a crafted texinfo file. And could allow a
local user to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on
temporary files.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2005-3011 and CVE-2006-4810 to these
issues.

b. This bundle is a group of patches to resolve two possible security
issues.
They are as follows:
A VMware internal security audit revealed a double free condition.
It may be possible for an attacker to influence the operation of
the system. In most circumstances, this influence will be limited
to denial of service or information leakage, but it is
theoretically possible for an attacker to insert arbitrary code
into a running program. This code would be executed with the
permissions of the vulnerable program. There are no known exploits
for this issue.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2007-1270 to this issue.
A VMware internal security audit revealed a potential buffer
overflow condition. There are no known vulnerabilities, but such
vulnerabilities may be used to elevate privileges or to crash the
application and thus cause a denial of service.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2007-1271 to this issue.

c. This patch updates internally used zlib libraries in order to
address potential security issues with older versions of this
library.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2005-2096, CVE-2005-1849, CVE-2003-0107
to these issues.

d. binutils service console update
NOTE: This vulnerability and update only apply to ESX 3.0.0.
A integer overflow in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library for
the GNU Debugger before version 6.3, binutils, elfutils, and
possibly other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a crafted object file that specifies a large
number of section headers, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-1704 to this issue.
