"a. Critical Memory corruption vulnerability

   A memory corruption condition may occur in the virtual machine
   hardware. A malicious request sent from the guest operating
   system to the virtual hardware may cause the virtual hardware to
   write to uncontrolled physical memory.

   VMware would like to thank Andrew Honig of the Department of
   Defense for reporting this issue.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
   has assigned the name CVE-2008-4917 to this issue.

b. Updated Service Console package bzip2

   bzip2 versions before 1.0.5 can crash if certain flaws in compressed
   data lead to reading beyond the end of a buffer.  This might cause
   an application linked to the libbz2 library to crash when
   decompressing malformed archives.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
   has assigned the name CVE-2008-1372 to this issue."
