-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- VMware Security Advisory Advisory ID: VMSA-2014-0001 Synopsis: VMware Workstation, Player, Fusion, ESXi, ESX and vCloud Director address several security issues Issue date: 2014-01-16 Updated on: 2014-01-16 (initial advisory) CVE numbers: CVE-2014-1207, CVE-2014-1208, CVE-2014-1211 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary VMware Workstation, Player, Fusion, ESXi, ESX and vCloud Director address several security issues. 2. Relevant releases VMware Workstation 9.x prior to version 9.0 VMware Player 5.x prior to version 5.0 VMware Fusion 5.x prior to version 5.0 VMware ESXi 5.1 without patch ESXi510-201401101 VMware ESXi 5.0 without patch ESXi500-201310101 VMware ESXi 4.1 without patch ESXi410-201312401 VMware ESXi 4.0 without patch ESXi400-201310401 VMware ESX 4.1 without patch ESX410-201312401 VMware ESX 4.0 without patch ESX400-201310401 vCloud Director 5.1.x prior to version 5.1.3 3. Problem Description a. VMware ESXi and ESX NFC NULL pointer dereference VMware ESXi and ESX contain a NULL pointer dereference in the handling of the Network File Copy (NFC) traffic. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must intercept and modify the NFC traffic between ESXi/ESX and the client. Exploitation of the issue may lead to a Denial of Service. To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components should be deployed on an isolated management network. VMware would like to thank Alex Chapman of Context Information Security for reporting this issue to us. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2014-1207 to this issue. Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is available. VMware Product Running Replace with/ Product Version on Apply Patch ============= ======= ======= ================= vCenter Server any any not affected hosted* any any not affected ESXi 5.5 ESXi not affected ESXi 5.1 ESXi ESXi510-201401101-SG ESXi 5.0 ESXi ESXi500-201310101-SG ESXi 4.1 ESXi ESXi410-201312401-SG ESXi 4.0 ESXi ESXi400-201310401-SG ESX 4.1 ESX ESX410-201312401-SG ESX 4.0 ESX ESX400-201310401-SG * hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player and Fusion. b. VMware VMX process denial of service vulnerability Due to a flaw in the handling of invalid ports, it is possible to cause the VMX process to fail. This vulnerability may allow a guest user to affect the VMX process resulting in a partial denial of service on the host. VMware would like to thank Recurity Labs GmbH and the Bundesamt Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) for reporting this issue to us The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2014-1208 to this issue.
