TITLE:
VMware ESX Server Multiple Security Updates

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24636

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24636/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Privilege escalation, DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

OPERATING SYSTEM:
VMware ESX Server 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/10757/
VMware ESX Server 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/2125/

DESCRIPTION:
VMware has issued an update for VMware ESX Server. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
gain escalated privileges, and by malicious people to overwrite
arbitrary files, cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially
compromise a vulnerable system.

For more information:
SA21890
SA21996
SA23115

Additionally, VMware ESX Server was updated to protect against a
guest kernel memory corruption, which could cause a DoS and an error
within 64bit syscall instruction handling. This, in turn, could cause
a panic in 64bit virtual machines.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches. Please see vendor advisory for details.
