VMware vCloud Director 5.5.x < 5.5.6.1 / 5.6.x < 5.6.5.1 / 8.0.x < 8.0.1.1 JMX Deserialization RCE (VMSA-2016-0005)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 91828

Language:

Synopsis

A virtualization appliance installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of VMware vCloud Director installed on the remote host is 5.5.x prior to 5.5.6.1, 5.6.x prior to 5.6.5.1, or 8.0.x prior to 8.0.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the bundled Oracle JRE JMX subcomponent due to deserializing any class when deserializing authentication credentials. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware vCloud Director version 5.5.6.1 / 5.6.5.1 / 8.0.1.1 or later.
