  a. VMware ROM Overwrite Privilege Escalation

  A flaw in the way port-based I/O is handled allows for modifying Read-Only
  Memory that belongs to the Virtual DOS Machine. Exploitation of this issue may
  lead to privilege escalation on Guest Operating Systems that run Windows 2000,
  Windows XP 32-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit or Windows Server 2003 R2
  32-bit.

  b. ESX third party update for Service Console kernel

  The ESX Service Console Operating System (COS) kernel is updated to
  kernel-400.2.6.18-238.4.11.591731 to fix multiple security issues in the COS
  kernel.

  c. ESX third party update for Service Console krb5 RPM

  This patch updates the krb5-libs and krb5-workstation RPMs to version
  1.6.1-63.el5_7 to resolve a security issue.");
