The password is specified in config.js (PASSWORD=xxxxx), and -p\n is not used in the command line. The file permissions on config.js\n are read/write only for the administrator. The config.js file is\n located in folder 'config' of the VCB installation folder. For\nexample,\n C:\\Program Files\\Vmware\\Vmware Consolidated Backup Framework\\config.\n\n 2. The password is specified in the registry, and is not specified in\n config.js, and -p is not used in the command line. Access to the\n registry key holding the password is allowed only to the\nadministrator.\n The location of the registry key is :\n On Windows x86: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\VMware, Inc.\\\n VMware Consolidated Backup\\Password\n On Windows x64: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\\n VMware, Inc.\\VMware Consolidated Backup\\Password\n\n 3. The password is not specified in the registry, and is not\nspecified in\n config.js, and -p is not used in the command line. The user will be\n prompted to enter a password.\n\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)\n has assigned the name CVE-2008-2101 to this issue.\n\n g. Third-Party Library libpng Updated to 1.2.29\n\n Several flaws were discovered in the way third-party library\n libpng handled various PNG image chunks. An attacker could\n create a carefully crafted PNG image file in such a way that\n it causes an application linked with libpng to crash when the\n file is manipulated.\n\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)\n has assigned the name CVE-2007-5269 to this issue.\n\n NOTE: There are multiple patches required to remediate the issue.\n\nII ESX Service Console rpm updates\n\n a. update to bind\n\n This update upgrades the service console rpms for bind-utils and\n bind-lib to version 9.2.4-22.el3.\n\n Version 9.2.4.-22.el3 addresses the recently discovered\n vulnerability in the BIND software used for Domain Name\n resolution (DNS). VMware doesn't install all the BIND packages\n on ESX Server and is not vulnerable by default to the reported\n vulnerability. Of the BIND packages, VMware only ships bind-util\n and bind-lib in the service console and these components by\n themselves cannot be used to setup a DNS server. Bind-lib and\n bind-util are used in client DNS applications like nsupdate,\n nslookup, etc.\n\n VMware explicitly discourages installing applications like BIND\n on the service console. In case the customer has installed BIND,\n and the DNS server is configured to support recursive queries,\n their ESX Server system is affected and they should replace BIND\n with a patched version.\n\n Note: ESX Server will use the DNS server on the network it is\n on, so it is important to patch that DNS server.\n\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)\n has assigned the name CVE-2008-1447 to this issue.\"\n );\n script_set_attribute(\n attribute:\"see_also\",\n value:\"http://lists.vmware.com/pipermail/security-announce/2008/000040.html\"\n );\n

Setting ActiveX killbit\r\n\r\n Starting from this release, VMware has set the killbit on its\r\n ActiveX controls. Setting the killbit ensures that ActiveX\r\n controls cannot run in Internet Explorer (IE), and avoids\r\n security issues involving ActiveX controls in IE. See the\r\n Microsoft KB article 240797 and the related references on this\r\n topic.\r\n\r\n Security vulnerabilities have been reported for ActiveX controls\r\n provided by VMware when run in IE. Under specific circumstances,\r\n exploitation of these ActiveX controls might result in denial-of-\r\n service or can allow running of arbitrary code when the user\r\n browses a malicious Web site or opens a malicious file in IE\r\n browser. An attempt to run unsafe ActiveX controls in IE might\r\n result in pop-up windows warning the user.\r\n\r\n Note: IE can be configured to run unsafe ActiveX controls without\r\n prompting. VMware recommends that you retain the default\r\n settings in IE, which prompts when unsafe actions are\r\n requested.\r\n\r\n Earlier, VMware had issued knowledge base articles, KB 5965318 and\r\n KB 9078920 on security issues with ActiveX controls. To avoid\r\n malicious scripts that exploit ActiveX controls, do not enable\r\n unsafe ActiveX objects in your browser settings. As a best\r\n practice, do not browse untrusted Web sites as an administrator\r\n and do not click OK or Yes if prompted by IE to allow certain\r\n actions.\r\n\r\n VMware would like to thank Julien Bachmann, Shennan Wang, Shinnai,\r\n and Michal Bucko for reporting these issues to us.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)\r\n has assigned the names CVE-2008-3691, CVE-2008-3692,\r\n CVE-2008-3693, CVE-2008-3694, CVE-2008-3695, CVE-2007-5438, and\r\n CVE-2008-3696 to the security issues with VMware ActiveX controls.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= =================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Workstation 6.x Windows 6.0.5 build 109488 or later\r\n Workstation 6.x Linux not affected\r\n Workstation 5.x Windows 5.5.8 build 108000 or later\r\n Workstation 5.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Player 2.x Windows 2.0.5 build 109488 or later\r\n Player 2.x Linux not affected\r\n Player 1.x Windows 1.0.8 build or later\r\n Player 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n ACE 2.x Windows 2.0.5 build 109488 or later\r\n ACE 1.x Windows 1.0.7 build 108880 or later\r\n\r\n Server 1.x Windows 1.0.7 build 108231 or later\r\n Server 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Fusion 1.x Mac OS/X not affected\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected\r\n\r\n ESX any ESX not affected\r\n\r\n\r\n b. VMware ISAPI Extension Denial of Service\r\n\r\n The Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) is\r\n an API that extends the functionality of Internet Information\r\n Server (IIS). VMware uses ISAPI extensions in its Server product.\r\n\r\n One of the ISAPI extensions provided by VMware is vulnerable to a\r\n remote denial of service. By sending a malformed request, IIS\r\n might shut down. IIS 6.0 restarts automatically. However, IIS 5.0\r\n does not restart automatically when its Startup Type is set to\r\n Manual.\r\n\r\n VMware would like to thank the Juniper Networks J-Security\r\n Security Research Team for reporting this issue to us.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)\r\n has assigned the name CVE-2008-3697 to this issue.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= =================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Workstation 6.x Windows not affected\r\n Workstation 6.x Linux not affected\r\n Workstation 5.x Windows not affected\r\n Workstation 5.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Player 2.x Windows not affected\r\n Player 2.x Linux not affected\r\n Player 1.x Windows not affected\r\n Player 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n ACE 2.x Windows not affected\r\n ACE 1.x Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Server 1.x Windows 1.0.7 build 108231 or later\r\n Server 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Fusion 1.x Mac OS/X not affected\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected\r\n\r\n ESX any ESX not affected\r\n\r\n c. OpenProcess Local Privilege Escalation on Host System\r\n\r\n This release fixes a privilege escalation vulnerability in host\r\n systems. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows users to run\r\n arbitrary code on the host system with elevated privileges.\r\n\r\n VMware would like to thank Sun Bing from McAfee, Inc. for\r\n reporting this issue to us.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)\r\n has assigned the name CVE-2008-3698 to this issue.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= =================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Workstation 6.x Windows not affected\r\n Workstation 6.x Linux not affected\r\n Workstation 5.x Windows 5.5.8 build 108000 or later\r\n Workstation 5.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Player 2.x Windows not affected\r\n Player 2.x Linux not affected\r\n Player 1.x Windows 1.0.8 build 109488 or later\r\n Player 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n ACE 2.x Windows not affected\r\n ACE 1.x Windows 1.0.7 build 108880 or later\r\n\r\n Server 1.x Windows 1.0.7 build 108231 or later\r\n Server 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Fusion 1.x Mac OS/X not affected\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected\r\n\r\n ESX any ESX not affected\r\n\r\n d.

This release updates FreeType to 2.3.7.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.com)\r\n has assigned the names CVE-2008-1806, CVE-2008-1807, and\r\n CVE-2008-1808 to the issues resolved in Freetype 2.3.6.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= =================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Workstation 6.x Windows not affected\r\n Workstation 6.x Linux 6.0.5 build 109488 or later\r\n Workstation 5.x Windows not affected\r\n Workstation 5.x Linux 5.5.8 build 108000 or later\r\n\r\n Player 2.x Windows not affected\r\n Player 2.x Linux 2.0.5 build 109488 or later\r\n Player 1.x Windows not affected\r\n Player 1.x Linux 1.0.8 build 108000 or later\r\n\r\n ACE 2.x Windows not affected\r\n ACE 1.x Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Server 1.x Windows not affected\r\n Server 1.x Linux 1.0.7 build 108231 or later\r\n\r\n Fusion 1.x Mac OS/X affected, patch pending\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected\r\n\r\n ESX 3.5 ESX not affected\r\n ESX 3.0.3 ESX not affected\r\n ESX 3.0.2 ESX not affected\r\n ESX 3.0.1 ESX not affected\r\n ESX 2.5.5 ESX affected, patch pending\r\n ESX 2.5.4 ESX affected, patch pending\r\n\r\n e. Update to Cairo\r\n\r\n Cairo 1.4.12 resolves an integer overflow vulnerability that can\r\n allow malicious users to run arbitrary code or might cause a\r\n denial-of-service after reading a maliciously crafted PNG file.\r\n This release updates Cairo to 1.4.14.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (cve.mitre.com) has\r\n assigned the name CVE-2007-5503 to this issue.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= =================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Workstation 6.x Windows not affected\r\n Workstation 6.x Linux 6.0.5 build 109488 or later\r\n Workstation 5.x Windows not affected\r\n Workstation 5.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Player 2.x Windows not affected\r\n Player 2.x Linux 2.0.5 build 109488 or later\r\n Player 1.x Windows not affected\r\n Player 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n ACE 2.x Windows not affected\r\n ACE 1.x Windows not affected\r\n\r\n Server 1.x Windows not affected\r\n Server 1.x Linux not affected\r\n\r\n Fusion 1.x Mac OS/X affected, patch pending\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected\r\n\r\n ESX any ESX not affected\r\n\r\n f. VMware Consolidated Backup(VCB) command-line utilities may expose\r\n sensitive information\r\n\r\n VMware Consolidated Backup command-line utilities accept the user\r\n password through the -p command-line option. Users logged into the\r\n service console could gain access to the username and password used\r\n by VCB command-line utilities when such commands are running.\r\n\r\n This patch resolves this issue by providing an alternative way of\r\n passing the password used by VCB command-line utilities.\r\n\r\n The following options are recommended for passing the password:\r\n\r\n 1. The password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf\r\n (PASSWORD=xxxxx), and -p is not used in the command line.\r\n /etc/backuptools.conf file permissions are read/write only\r\n for root.\r\n\r\n 2. No password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf and the\r\n -p option is not used in the command line. The user will be\r\n prompted to enter a password.\r\n\r\n ESX is not affected unless you use VCB.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)\r\n has assigned the name CVE-2008-2101 to this issue.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= ===================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n hosted * any any not affected\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected\r\n\r\n ESX 3.5 ESX ESX350-200806203-UG\r\n ESX 3.0.3 ESX ESX303-200808403-SG\r\n ESX 3.0.2 ESX ESX-1004824\r\n ESX 3.0.1 ESX ESX-1004823\r\n ESX 2.5.5 ESX not affected\r\n ESX 2.5.4 ESX not affected\r\n\r\n * hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Server, Fusion\r\n\r\n g. Third Party Library libpng Updated to 1.2.29\r\n\r\n Several flaws were discovered in the way third party library\r\n libpng handled various PNG image chunks. An attacker could\r\n create a carefully crafted PNG image file in such a way that\r\n it causes an application linked with libpng to crash when the\r\n file is manipulated.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)\r\n has assigned the name CVE-2007-5269 to this issue.\r\n\r\n NOTE: There are multiple patches required to remediate the issue.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= ===================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n hosted * any any not affected\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi affected, patch pending\r\n\r\n ESX 3.5 ESX affected, patch pending\r\n ESX 3.0.3 ESX ESX303-200808404-SG\r\n ESX303-200808403-SG\r\n ESX 3.0.2 ESX ESX-1005109 ESX-1005114 ESX-1005113\r\n ESX 3.0.1 ESX ESX-1005112 ESX-1005108 ESX-1005111\r\n ESX 2.5.5 ESX affected, patch pending\r\n ESX 2.5.4 ESX affected, patch pending\r\n\r\n * hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Server, Fusion\r\n\r\n\r\n II ESX Service Console rpm updates\r\n\r\n a. update to bind\r\n\r\n This update upgrades the service console rpms for bind-utils and\r\n bind-lib to version 9.2.4-22.el3.\r\n\r\n Version 9.2.4.-22.el3 addresses the recently discovered\r\n vulnerability in the BIND software used for Domain Name\r\n resolution (DNS). VMware doesn't install all the BIND packages\r\n on ESX Server and is not vulnerable by default to the reported\r\n vulnerability. Of the BIND packages, VMware only ships bind-util\r\n and bind-lib in the service console and these components by\r\n themselves cannot be used to setup a DNS server. Bind-lib and\r\n bind-util are used in client DNS applications like nsupdate,\r\n nslookup, etc.\r\n\r\n VMware explicitly discourages installing applications like BIND\r\n on the service console. In case the customer has installed BIND,\r\n and the DNS server is configured to support recursive queries,\r\n their ESX Server system is affected and they should replace BIND\r\n with a patched version.\r\n\r\n Note: ESX Server will use the DNS server on the network it is\r\n on, so it is important to patch that DNS server.\r\n\r\n The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)\r\n has assigned the name CVE-2008-1447 to this issue.\r\n\r\n VMware Product Running Replace with/\r\n Product Version on Apply Patch\r\n ============= ======== ======= ===================\r\n VirtualCenter any Windows not affected\r\n\r\n hosted * any any not affected\r\n\r\n ESXi 3.5 ESXi not affected\r\n\r\n ESX 3.5 ESX patch pending\r\n ESX 3.0.3 ESX ESX303-200808406-SG\r\n ESX 3.0.2 ESX ESX-1006356\r\n ESX 3.0.1 ESX ESX-1005117\r\n ESX 2.5.5 ESX patch pending\r\n ESX 2.5.4 ESX patch pending\r\n\r\n * hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Server, Fusion\r\n\r\n4.

Setting ActiveX killbit \nStarting from this release, VMware has set the killbit on its \nActiveX controls. Setting the killbit ensures that ActiveX \ncontrols cannot run in Internet Explorer (IE), and avoids \nMicrosoft KB article 240797 and the related references on this \ntopic. \nSecurity vulnerabilities have been reported for ActiveX controls \nprovided by VMware when run in IE. Under specific circumstances, \nexploitation of these ActiveX controls might result in denial-of- \nservice or can allow running of arbitrary code when the user \nbrowses a malicious Web site or opens a malicious file in IE \nbrowser. An attempt to run unsafe ActiveX controls in IE might \nresult in pop-up windows warning the user. \nNote: IE can be configured to run unsafe ActiveX controls without \nprompting. VMware recommends that you retain the default \nsettings in IE, which prompts when unsafe actions are \nrequested. \nEarlier, VMware had issued knowledge base articles, KB 5965318 and \nKB 9078920 on security issues with ActiveX controls. To avoid \nmalicious scripts that exploit ActiveX controls, do not enable \nunsafe ActiveX objects in your browser settings. As a best \npractice, do not browse untrusted Web sites as an administrator \nand do not click OK or Yes if prompted by IE to allow certain \nactions. \nVMware would like to thank Julien Bachmann, Shennan Wang, Shinnai, \nand Michal Bucko for reporting these issues to us. \nThe Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) \nhas assigned the names CVE-2008-3691, CVE-2008-3692, \nCVE-2008-3693, CVE-2008-3694, CVE-2008-3695, CVE-2007-5438, and \nCVE-2008-3696 to the security issues with VMware ActiveX controls. \n\n", "modified": "2008-10-31T00:00:00", "published": "2008-08-29T00:00:00", "id": "VMSA-2008-0014", "href": "https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2008-0014.html", "title": "Updates to VMware Workstation, VMware Player, VMware ACE, VMware Server, VMware ESX, VMware VCB address information disclosure, privilege escalation and other security issues.", "type": "vmware", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C"}}]}
