"a. VMware vSphere API denial of service vulnerability

   The VMware vSphere API contains a denial of service
   vulnerability.  This issue allows an unauthenticated user to
   send a maliciously crafted API request and disable the host
   daemon. Exploitation of the issue would prevent management
   activities on the host but any virtual machines running on the
   host would be unaffected.

   VMware would like to thank Sebastian Tello of Core Security
   Technologies for reporting this issue to us.
