3. Problem Description
a. VMware vSphere client-side authentication memory corruption
vulnerability
VMware vCenter Server, vSphere Client, and ESX contain a
vulnerability in the handling of the management authentication
protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must
convince either vCenter Server, vSphere Client or ESX to
interact with a malicious server as a client. Exploitation of
the issue may lead to code execution on the client system.
To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components
should be deployed on an isolated management network.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2013-1405 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.

* hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Fusion.
** To remediate CVE-2013-1405, customers must apply updates to
all components of the authentication service. First,
customers should update vCenter Server or ESXi/ESX as
appropriate to ensure that the updated vSphere Client is
downloaded. Then, the vSphere client can be updated using
any one of the following methods:
- Run the installer that ships with vCenter Server
- Follow the client installation link on the vCenter Server
welcome page
- Follow the client installation link on the ESXi/ESX
Server welcome page
b. Update to ESX/ESXi libxml2 userworld and service console
The ESX/ESXi userworld libxml2 library has been updated to
resolve multiple security issues. Also, the ESX service console
libxml2 packages are updated to the following versions:
libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.15.el5_8.5
