Synopsis

The VMware vCenter Server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is 7.0 prior to 7.0U3r, or 8.0 prior to 8.0U2d. It is, therefore, affected by a partial information disclosure vulnerability as referenced in the VMSA-2024-0012 advisory:

- The vCenter Server contains multiple heap-overflow vulnerabilities in the implementation of the DCERPC protocol. (CVE-2024-37079, CVE-2024-37080)

- The vCenter Server contains multiple local privilege escalation vulnerabilities due to misconfiguration of sudo. (CVE-2024-37081) 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 vCenter Server 7.0U3r, or 8.0U2d or later.
