Language:

Synopsis

The remote VMware ESXi host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of VMware ESXi installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0 Update 3p, 8.0 prior to 8.0 Update 1d, or 8.0 prior to 8.0 Update 2b. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the VMSA-2024-0006 advisory:

 - VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the XHCI USB controller. (CVE-2024-22252)

 - VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the UHCI USB controller. (CVE-2024-22253)

 - VMware ESXi contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. (CVE-2024-22254)

 - VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the UHCI USB controller.
 (CVE-2024-22255)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware ESXi 7.0 Update 3p, 8.0 Update 1d, or 8.0 Update 2b or later.
