3. Problem Description
a. VMware Tools Display Driver Privilege Escalation
The VMware XPDM and WDDM display drivers contain buffer overflow
vulnerabilities and the XPDM display driver does not properly
check for NULL pointers. Exploitation of these issues may lead
to local privilege escalation on Windows-based Guest Operating
Systems.
VMware would like to thank Tarjei Mandt for reporting theses
issues to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2012-1509 (XPDM buffer overrun),
CVE-2012-1510 (WDDM buffer overrun) and CVE-2012-1508 (XPDM null
pointer dereference) to these issues.
Note: CVE-2012-1509 doesn't affect ESXi and ESX.
Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.
VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product * Version on Apply Patch **
============= ======== ======= =================
vCenter any Windows not affected
Workstation 8.x any not affected
Player 4.x any not affected
Fusion 4.x Mac OS/X not affected
ESXi 5.0 ESXi ESXi500-201112402-BG
ESXi 4.1 ESXi ESXi410-201110202-UG
ESXi 4.0 ESXi ESXi400-201110402-BG
ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected
ESX 4.1 ESX ESX410-201110201-SG
ESX 4.0 ESX ESX400-201110401-SG
ESX 3.5 ESX not affected
* Remediation for VMware View is described in VMSA-2012-0004.
** Notes on updating VMware Guest Tools:
After the update or patch is applied, VMware Guest Tools must
be updated in any pre-existing Windows-based Guest Operating
System. The XPDM and WDDM drivers are part of Tools.
Windows-Based Virtual Machines that have moved to Workstation
8 or Player 4 from a lower version of Workstation or Player
are affected unless:
- They were moved from Workstation 7.1.5 or Player 3.1.5,
AND
- The Tools version was updated before the move.
Windows-Based Virtual Machines that have moved to Fusion 4
from a lower version of Fusion are affected.
b. vSphere Client internal browser input validation vulnerability
The vSphere Client has an internal browser that renders html
pages from log file entries. This browser doesn't properly
sanitize input and may run script that is introduced into the
log files. In order for the script to run, the user would need
to open an individual, malicious log file entry. The script
would run with the permissions of the user that runs the vSphere
Client.
VMware would like to thank Edward Torkington for reporting this
issue to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2012-1512 to this issue.
In order to remediate the issue, the vSphere Client of the
vSphere 5.0 Update 1 release or the vSphere 4.1 Update 2 release
needs to be installed. The vSphere Clients that come with
vSphere 4.0 and vCenter Server 2.5 are not affected.
c. vCenter Orchestrator Password Disclosure
The vCenter Orchestrator (vCO) Web Configuration tool reflects
back the vCenter Server password as part of the webpage. This
might allow the logged-in vCO administrator to retrieve the
vCenter Server password.
VMware would like to thank Alexey Sintsov from Digital Security
Research Group for reporting this issue to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2012-1513 to this issue.
VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product Version on Apply Patch
============= ======= ======= =================
vCO 4.2 Windows vCO 4.2 Update 1
vCO 4.1 Windows vCO 4.1 Update 2
vCO 4.0 Windows vCO 4.0 Update 4
d. vShield Manager Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability
The vShield Manager (vSM) interface has a Cross-Site Request
Forgery vulnerability. If an attacker can convince an
authenticated user to visit a malicious link, the attacker may
force the victim to forward an authenticated request to the
server.
VMware would like to thank Frans Pehrson of Xxor AB
(www.xxor.se) and Claudio Criscione for independently reporting
this issue to us
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2012-1514 to this issue.
VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product Version on Apply Patch
============= ======= ======= =================
vSM 5.0 Linux not affected
vSM 4.1 Linux vSM 4.1.0 Update 2
vSM 4.0 Linux vSM 1.0.1 Update 2
e. vCenter Update Manager, Oracle (Sun) JRE update 1.6.0_30
Oracle (Sun) JRE is updated to version 1.6.0_30, which addresses
multiple security issues that existed in earlier releases of
Oracle (Sun) JRE.
Oracle has documented the CVE identifiers that are addressed in
JRE 1.6.0_29 and JRE 1.6.0_30 in the Oracle Java SE Critical
Patch Update Advisory of October 2011. The References section
provides a link to this advisory.
