a. Service Console update for DHCP

The DHCP client daemon, dhclient, does not properly sanatize     certain options in DHCP server replies. An attacker could send a     specially crafted DHCP server reply, that is saved on     the client system and evaluated by a process that assumes the     option is trusted. This could lead to arbitrary code execution     with the privileges of the evaluating process.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)     has assigned the name CVE-2011-0997 to this issue.

b. Service Console update for glibc

This patch updates the glibc package for ESX service console to     glibc-2.5-58.7602.vmw. This fixes multiple security issues in     glibc, glibc-common and nscd including possible local privilege     escalation.
 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)     has assigned the identifiers CVE-2010-0296, CVE-2011-0536,     CVE-2011-1095, CVE-2011-1071, CVE-2011-1658 and CVE-2011-1659 to     these issues.
