The remote VMware ESX host is missing a security-related patch. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  • A format string flaw exists in the VMware Remote Console that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2009-3732)

  • A flaw exists in VMware Tools due to improper access to libraries. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code by convincing a Windows guest OS user into clicking on a file that is stored on a network share. (CVE-2010-1141)

  • A flaw exists in VMware Tools due to improper loading of VMware programs. An attacker with access to a Windows guest OS can escalate privileges by placing a Trojan horse program at an unspecified location on the guest OS disk. (CVE-2010-1142)
