  VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) contains a vulnerability that may
  allow for Cross Site Scripting. Exploitation of this vulnerability in
  vCenter Server requires tricking a user to click on a malicious link or

  when establishing a connection to a CIM Server residing on an ESXi
  host. This may allow for a Man-in-the-middle attack against the CIM
  service.

  c. Update to ESXi libxml2 package
  libxml2 is updated to address multiple security issues.

  d. Update to ESXi Curl package
  Curl is updated to address multiple security issues.

  e. Update to ESXi Python package
  Python is updated to address multiple security issues.

  f. vCenter and Update Manager, Oracle JRE 1.6 Update 81
