  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"a. VMware vCenter, ESXi and ESX NFC protocol memory corruption
  vulnerability

  VMware vCenter Server, ESXi and ESX contain a vulnerability in the
  handling of the Network File Copy (NFC) protocol. To exploit this
  vulnerability, an attacker must intercept and modify the NFC
  traffic between vCenter Server and the client or ESXi/ESX and the
  client. Exploitation of the issue may lead to code execution.

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

  b. VirtualCenter, ESX and ESXi Oracle (Sun) JRE update 1.5.0_38

  Oracle (Sun) JRE is updated to version 1.5.0_38, which addresses
  multiple security issues that existed in earlier releases of
  Oracle (Sun) JRE.

  Oracle has documented the CVE identifiers that are addressed
  in JRE 1.5.0_38 in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update
  Advisory of October 2012.

  c. Update to ESX service console OpenSSL RPM

  The service console OpenSSL RPM is updated to version
  openssl-0.9.7a.33.28.i686 to resolve multiple security issues.");
