The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted checkpoint file, to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code on the host OS. (CVE-2012-3288)
A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper handling of traffic originating from mobile virtual devices. A remote attacker can exploit this to crash the guest OS. (CVE-2012-3289)
