Synopsis

The remote VMware ESXi 5.0 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote VMware ESXi 5.0 host is affected by Multiple Vulnerabilities :

- An integer overflow condition exists in the
__tzfile_read() function in the glibc library. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted timezone (TZ) file, to cause a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2009-5029)

- ldd in the glibc library is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to the omission of certain LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS checks in a crafted executable file. Note that this vulnerability is disputed by the library vendor. (CVE-2009-5064)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the glibc library due to an integer signedness error in the elf_get_dynamic_info() function when the '--verify' option is used. A remote attacker can exploit this by using a crafted ELF program with a negative value for a certain d_tag structure member in the ELF header.
(CVE-2010-0830)

- A flaw exists in OpenSSL due to a failure to properly prevent modification of the ciphersuite in the session cache when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this to force a downgrade to an unintended cipher by intercepting the network traffic to discover a session identifier.
(CVE-2010-4180)

- A flaw exists in OpenSSL due to a failure to properly validate the public parameters in the J-PAKE protocol when J-PAKE is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this, by sending crafted values in each round of the protocol, to bypass the need for knowledge of the shared secret. (CVE-2010-4252)

- A out-of-bounds memory error exists in OpenSSL that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly obtain sensitive information by using a malformed ClientHello handshake message. This is also known as the 'OCSP stapling vulnerability'.
(CVE-2011-0014)

- A flaw exists in the addmntent() function in the glibc library due to a failure to report the error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file. A local attacker can exploit this to corrupt the file by using writes from a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value.
(CVE-2011-1089)

- A flaw exists in the png_set_text_2() function in the file pngset.c in the libpng library due to a failure to properly allocate memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted text chunk in a PNG image file, to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-3048)

- A flaw exists in the DTLS implementation in OpenSSL due to performing a MAC check only if certain padding is valid. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a padding oracle attack, to recover the plaintext. (CVE-2011-4108)

- A double-free error exists in OpenSSL when the X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this by triggering a policy check failure, resulting in an unspecified impact. (CVE-2011-4109)

- A flaw exists in OpenSSL in the SSL 3.0 implementation due to improper initialization of data structures used for block cipher padding. A remote attacker can exploit this, by decrypting the padding data sent by an SSL peer, to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2011-4576)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in OpenSSL when RFC 3779 support is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause an assertion failure, by using an X.509 certificate containing certificate extension data associated with IP address blocks or Autonomous System (AS) identifiers. (CVE-2011-4577)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the RPC implementation in the glibc library due to a flaw in the svc_run() function. A remote attacker can exploit this, via large number of RPC connections, to exhaust CPU resources. (CVE-2011-4609)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) implementation in OpenSSL due to a failure to properly handle handshake restarts. A remote attacker can exploit this, via unspecified vectors, to exhaust CPU resources. (CVE-2011-4619)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in OpenSSL due to improper support of DTLS applications. A remote attacker can exploit this, via unspecified vectors related to an out-of-bounds read error. Note that this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4108. (CVE-2012-0050)

- A security bypass vulnerability exists in the glibc library due to an integer overflow condition in the vfprintf() function in file stdio-common/vfprintf.c. An attacker can exploit this, by using a large number of arguments, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE protection mechanism, allowing format string attacks or writing to arbitrary memory. (CVE-2012-0864)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the glibc library in the vfprintf() function in file stdio-common/vfprintf.c due to a failure to properly calculate a buffer length. An attacker can exploit this, via a format string that uses positional parameters and many format specifiers, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string protection mechanism, thus causing stack corruption and a crash. (CVE-2012-3404)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the glibc library in the vfprintf() function in file stdio-common/vfprintf.c due to a failure to properly calculate a buffer length. An attacker can exploit this, via a format string with a large number of format specifiers, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string protection mechanism, thus triggering desynchronization within the buffer size handling, resulting in a segmentation fault and crash. (CVE-2012-3405)

- A flaw exists in the glibc library in the vfprintf() function in file stdio-common/vfprintf.c due to a failure to properly restrict the use of the alloca() function when allocating the SPECS array. An attacker can exploit this, via a crafted format string using positional parameters and a large number of format specifiers, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string protection mechanism, thus triggering a denial of service or the possible execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2012-3406)

- A flaw exists in the glibc library due to multiple integer overflow conditions in the strtod(), strtof(), strtold(), strtod_l(), and other unspecified related functions. A local attacker can exploit these to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in an application crash or the possible execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3480)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) due to a failure by control code to properly restrict memory allocation. A local attacker can exploit this, via unspecified vectors, to gain privileges. (CVE-2013-1406)

- An error exists in the implementation of the Network File Copy (NFC) protocol. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, by modifying the client-server data stream, to cause a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-1659)
