VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) contains a vulnerability that may allow for Cross Site
Scripting. Exploitation of this vulnerability in vCenter Server requires tricking a user to click
on a malicious link or to open a malicious web page while they are logged in into vCenter.
b. vCenter Server certificate validation issue
vCenter Server does not properly validate the presented certificate when establishing a connection
to a CIM Server residing on an ESXi host. This may allow for a Man-in-the-middle attack against
the CIM service.
c. Update to ESXi libxml2 package
libxml2 is updated to address multiple security issues.
d. Update to ESXi Curl package
Curl is updated to address multiple security issues.
e. Update to ESXi Python package
Python is updated to address multiple security issues.
