  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"a. VMware Tools Display Driver Privilege Escalation

  The VMware XPDM and WDDM display drivers contain buffer overflow vulnerabilities and the XPDM display
  driver does not properly check for NULL pointers. Exploitation of these issues may lead to local privilege
  escalation on Windows-based Guest Operating Systems.

  b. vSphere Client internal browser input validation vulnerability

  The vSphere Client has an internal browser that renders html pages from log file entries. This browser doesn't
  properly sanitize input and may run script that is introduced into the log files. In order for the script to
  run, the user would need to open an individual, malicious log file entry. The script would run with the
  permissions of the user that runs the vSphere Client.

  c. vCenter Orchestrator Password Disclosure

  The vCenter Orchestrator (vCO) Web Configuration tool reflects back the vCenter Server password as part of the
  webpage. This might allow the logged-in vCO administrator to retrieve the vCenter Server password.

  d. vShield Manager Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability

  The vShield Manager (vSM) interface has a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability. If an attacker can convince
  an authenticated user to visit a malicious link, the attacker may force the victim to forward an authenticated
  request to the server.

  e. vCenter Update Manager, Oracle (Sun) JRE update 1.6.0_30

  Oracle (Sun) JRE is updated to version 1.6.0_30, which addresses multiple security issues that existed in earlier
  releases of Oracle (Sun) JRE.

  f. vCenter Server Apache Tomcat update 6.0.35

  Apache Tomcat has been updated to version 6.0.35 to address multiple security issues.

  g. ESXi update to third party component bzip2

  The bzip2 library is updated to version 1.0.6, which resolves a security issue.");
