1. Summary

VMware vCenter Server updates address an important reflective
cross-site scripting issue.

2. Relevant Releases

vCenter Server 5.5 prior to 5.5 update 2d
vCenter Server 5.1 prior to 5.1 update 3d
vCenter Server 5.0 prior to 5.0 update 3g


3. Problem Description

a. Important vCenter Server reflected cross-site scripting issue

The vSphere Web Client contains a reflected cross-site scripting
vulnerability due to a lack of input sanitization. An attacker can
exploit this issue by tricking a victim into clicking a malicious
link.

VMware would like to thank Matt Schmidt for reporting this issue to
us.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the identifier CVE-2015-6931 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.

VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product Version on Apply Patch
============== ======= ======= =============
vCenter Server 6.0 Any not affected
vCenter Server 5.5 Any 5.5 U2d *
vCenter Server 5.1 Any 5.1 U3d *
vCenter Server 5.0 Any 5.0 U3g *

* The client side component of the vSphere Web Client does not need
to be updated to remediate CVE-2015-6931. Updating the vCenter
Server is sufficient to remediate this issue.


4. Solution

Please review the patch/release notes for your product and
version and verify the checksum of your downloaded file.
