"a. VMware ESXi busybox command injection vulnerability

ESXi contains a command injection vulnerability due to the use of vulnerable version of busybox that does not sanitize filenames which may result into executing any escape sequence in the shell.

An attacker may exploit this issue by tricking an ESXi Admin into executing shell commands by providing a malicious file. 

b. ESXi Host Client information disclosure vulnerability

An information disclosure vulnerability in clients arising from insufficient session expiration.

An attacker with physical access or an ability to mimic a websocket connection to a users browser may be able to obtain control of a VM Console after the user has logged out or their session has timed out.");
