  1. Summary

    VMware has updated vCenter Server, vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA),
    vSphere Update Manager (VUM), ESXi and ESX to address multiple
    security vulnerabilities.

  2. Relevant releases

    VMware vCenter Server before 5.0 update 3

    VMware Update Manager before 5.0 update 3

    VMware ESXi 5.0 without patch ESXi500-201310101-SG
    VMware ESXi 4.1 without patch ESXi410-201307401-SG
    VMware ESXi 4.0 without patch ESXi400-201305401-SG

    VMware ESX 4.1 without patch ESX410-201307401-SG
    VMware ESX 4.0 without patch ESX400-201305401-SG

  3. Problem Description

    a. VMware ESXi and ESX contain a vulnerability in hostd-vmdb.

    To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must intercept and
    modify the management traffic. Exploitation of the issue may lead
    to a Denial of Service of the hostd-vmdb service.

    To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components
    should be deployed on an isolated management network.

    VMware would like to thank Alex Chapman of Context Information
    Security for reporting this issue to us.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
    has assigned the name CVE-2013-5970 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.

    • hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Fusion.

    b. VMware vSphere Web Client Server Session Fixation Vulnerability

    The VMware vSphere Web Client Server contains a vulnerability in
    the handling of session IDs. To exploit this vulnerability, an
    attacker must know a valid session ID of an authenticated user.
    Exploitation of the issue may lead to Elevation of Privilege.

    To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components
    should be deployed on an isolated management network.

    VMware would like to thank Alexey Tyurin of DSecRG for reporting
    this issue to us.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
    has assigned the name CVE-2013-5971 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.
