1. Summary
ESX Service Console OS (COS) updates to remediate vulnerabilities in
glibc and dhcp.
2. Relevant releases
ESX 4.1 without patches ESX410-201107405-SG and
ESX410-201107406-SG.
ESX 4.0 without patches ESX400-201110406-SG and

3. Problem Description
a. Service Console update for DHCP
The DHCP client daemon, dhclient, does not properly sanatize
certain options in DHCP server replies. An attacker could send a
specially crafted DHCP server reply, that is saved on
the client system and evaluated by a process that assumes the
option is trusted. This could lead to arbitrary code execution
with the privileges of the evaluating process.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2011-0997 to this issue.
Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
available.

b. Service Console update for glibc
This patch updates the glibc package for ESX service console to
glibc-2.5-58.7602.vmw. This fixes multiple security issues in
glibc, glibc-common and nscd including possible local privilege
escalation.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the identifiers CVE-2010-0296, CVE-2011-0536,
