Problem Description

a. VMware vSphere client-side authentication memory corruption vulnerability
VMware vCenter Server, vSphere Client, and ESX contain a vulnerability in the
handling of the management authentication protocol. To exploit this
vulnerability, an attacker must convince either vCenter Server,
vSphere Client or ESX to interact with a malicious server as a
client. Exploitation of the issue may lead to code execution on the client
system.

To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components should be
deployed on an isolated management network.

b. Update to ESX/ESXi libxml2 userworld and service console

The ESX/ESXi userworld libxml2 library has been updated to resolve
multiple security issues. Also, the ESX service console libxml2
packages are updated to the following versions:

libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.15.el5_8.5
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.15.el5_8.5

c. Update to ESX service console bind packages

The ESX service console bind packages are updated to the following versions:

bind-libs-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2
bind-utils-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2

d. Update to ESX service console libxslt package
The ESX service console libxslt package is updated to version
libxslt-1.1.17-4.el5_8.3 to resolve multiple security issues.

Solution
Apply the missing patch(es).
