  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"ESXi update for ntp and ESX Console OS (COS) updates for COS kernel, openssl, krb5, gcc, bind, gzip, sudo resolve multiple security issues:

  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

  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

  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.

  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

  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

  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

  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

  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.");
