The remote VMware ESXi 5.0 host is affected by the following security vulnerabilities :

  • Errors exist in the Libxml2 library functions ‘xmlXPathNextPrecedingSibling’, ‘xmlNodePtr’ and ‘xmlXPathNextPrecedingInternal’ that could allow denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2010-4008)

  • Buffer overflow errors exist in the libxml2 library functions ‘xmlCharEncFirstLineInt’ and ‘xmlCharEncInFunc’ that could allow denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-0216)

  • A buffer overflow error exists in the libxml2 library file ‘xpath.c’ related to handling ‘XPath’ nodesets that could allow denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-1944)

  • A double-free error exists in the libxml2 library function ‘xmlXPathCompOpEval’ related to handling invalid ‘XPath’ expressions that could allow denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-2834)

  • An out-of-bounds read error exists in the libxml2 library file ‘parser.c’ related to handling ‘Stop’ orders that could allow denial of service attacks.
    (CVE-2011-3905)

  • A buffer overflow error exists in the libxml2 library function ‘xmlStringLenDecodeEntities’ related to copying entities that could allow denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-3919)

  • An error exists in the libxml2 library related to hash collisions that could allow denial of service attacks.
    (CVE-2012-0841)
