The remote ESXi is missing one or more security related Updates from VMSA-2010-0009.
Summary
ESXi update for ntp and ESX Console OS (COS) updates for COS
kernel, openssl, krb5, gcc, bind, gzip, sudo.
Relevant releases
VMware ESXi 4.0.0 without patch ESXi400-201005401-SG
VMware ESX 4.0.0 without patches ESX400-201005401-SG, ESX400-201005406-SG, ESX400-201005408-SG, ESX400-201005407-SG,
ESX400-201005405-SG, ESX400-201005409-SG
VMware ESX 3.5 without patches ESX350-201006408-SG, ESX350-201006405-SG, ESX350-201006406-SG
Problem Description
a. Service Console update for COS kernel
Updated COS package 'kernel' addresses the security issues that are
fixed through versions 2.6.18-164.11.1.
b. ESXi userworld update for ntp
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of
a computer client or server to another server or reference time
source.
A vulnerability in ntpd could allow a remote attacker to cause a
denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) by using
MODE_PRIVATE to send a spoofed (1) request or (2) response packet
that triggers a continuous exchange of MODE_PRIVATE error responses
between two NTP daemons.
c. Service Console package openssl updated to 0.9.8e-12.el5_4.1
OpenSSL is a toolkit implementing SSL v2/v3 and TLS protocols with
full-strength cryptography world-wide.
A memory leak in the zlib could allow a remote attacker to cause a
denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors that trigger
incorrect calls to the CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data function.
d. Service Console update for krb5 to 1.6.1-36.el5_4.1 and pam_krb5 to
2.2.14-15.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to
provide strong authentication for client/server applications by
using secret-key cryptography.
Multiple integer underflows in the AES and RC4 functionality in the
crypto library could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by
providing ciphertext with a length that is too short to be valid.
e. Service Console package bind updated to 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Daemon) is by far the most widely used
Domain Name System (DNS) software on the Internet.
A vulnerability was discovered which could allow remote attacker to
add the Authenticated Data (AD) flag to a forged NXDOMAIN response
for an existing domain.
f. Service Console package gcc updated to 3.2.3-60
The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++,
Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these
languages
GNU Libtool's ltdl.c attempts to open .la library files in the
current working directory. This could allow a local user to gain
privileges via a Trojan horse file. The GNU C Compiler collection
(gcc) provided in ESX contains a statically linked version of the
vulnerable code, and is being replaced.
g. Service Console package gzip update to 1.3.3-15.rhel3
gzip is a software application used for file compression
An integer underflow in gzip's unlzw function on 64-bit platforms
may allow a remote attacker to trigger an array index error
leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code via a crafted LZW compressed file.
h. Service Console package sudo updated to 1.6.9p17-6.el5_4
Sudo (su 'do') allows a system administrator to delegate authority
to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some
(or all) commands as root or another user while providing an audit
trail of the commands and their arguments.
When a pseudo-command is enabled, sudo permits a match between the
name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an
arbitrary directory, which allows local users to gain privileges
via a crafted executable file.
Solution
Apply the missing patch(es).
