VMware Security Updates for vCenter Server (VMSA-2014-0008)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 77728

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a virtualization management application installed that is affected by multiple security vulnerabilities.

Description

The VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is version 5.0 prior to Update 3c, 5.1 prior to Update 3, or 5.5 prior to Update 2.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in third party libraries :

- The bundled version of Apache Struts contains a code execution flaw. Note that 5.0 Update 3c only addresses this vulnerability. (CVE-2014-0114)

- The bundled tc-server / Apache Tomcat contains multiple vulnerabilities. (CVE-2013-4590, CVE-2013-4322, and CVE-2014-0050)

- The bundled version of Oracle JRE is prior to 1.7.0_55 and thus is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Note that this only affects version 5.5 of vCenter.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware vCenter Server 5.5u2 (5.5.0 build-2001466) / 5.1u3 (5.1.0 build-2306353) / 5.0u3c (5.0.0 build-2210222) or later.
