Synopsis
The remote host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of VMware vCenter Converter installed on the remote Windows host is 5.1.x prior to 5.1.2 or 5.5.x prior to 5.5.3. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :- A command injection vulnerability exists in GNU Bash known as Shellshock, which is due to the processing of trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via environment variable manipulation depending on the configuration of the system. While this host is not directly impacted by Shellshock, the standalone Converter application does deploy a Helper VM during Linux P2V conversions. This Helper VM contains a vulnerable version of Bash.
(CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-6277, CVE-2014-6278, CVE-2014-7169, CVE-2014-7186, CVE-2014-7187)
- A memory double-free error exists in 'd1_both.c' related to handling DTLS packets that allows denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-3505)
- An unspecified error exists in 'd1_both.c' related to handling DTLS handshake messages that allows denial of service attacks due to large amounts of memory being consumed. (CVE-2014-3506)
- A memory leak error exists in 'd1_both.c' related to handling specially crafted DTLS packets that allows denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-3507)
- A NULL pointer dereference error exists related to handling anonymous ECDH cipher suites and crafted handshake messages that allows denial of service attacks against clients. (CVE-2014-3510)
