3. Problem Description
a. Mishandled exception on page faults
An improper setting of the exception code on page faults may allow
for local privilege escalation on the guest operating system. This
vulnerability does not affect the host system.
VMware would like to thank Tavis Ormandy and Julien Tinnes of the
Google Security Team for reporting this issue to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-2267 to this issue.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available. See above for remediation
details.

b. Directory Traversal vulnerability
A directory traversal vulnerability allows for remote retrieval of
any file from the host system. In order to send a malicious request,
the attacker will need to have access to the network on which the
host resides.
VMware would like to thank Justin Morehouse and Jason Kratzer for
independently reporting this issue to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-3733 to this issue.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available.

Product Version on Apply Patch
============= ======== ======= =================
VirtualCenter any Windows not affected
Workstation any any not affected
Player any any not affected
ACE any Windows not affected
Server 2.x Windows not affected
Server 2.x Linux 2.0.2 build 203138 or later

ESX 3.0.3 ESX ESX303-200812406-BG
ESX 2.5.5 ESX not affected
Note: On ESX these vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely only
if the attacker has access to the Service Console network.
Security best practices provided by VMware recommend that the
Service Console be isolated from the VM network. Please see
http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/726 for more
information on VMware security best practices.
