"The remote VMware ESXi host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities
in the OpenSSL third-party library :
- A flaw exist in the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature
Algorithm (ECDSA) implementation due to a failure to
ensure that certain swap operations have a constant-time
behavior. An attacker can exploit this to obtain the
ECDSA nonces by using a FLUSH+RELOAD cache side-channel
attack. (CVE-2014-0076)
- An out-of-bounds read error, known as Heartbleed, exists
in the TLS/DTLS implementation due to improper handling
of TLS heartbeat extension packets. A remote attacker,
using crafted packets, can trigger a buffer over-read,
resulting in the disclosure of up to 64KB of process
memory, which contains sensitive information such as
primary key material, secondary key material, and other
protected content. (CVE-2014-0160)");
