VMware ESXi 5.0 < Build 3021432 OpenSLP RCE (VMSA-2015-0007)

high Nessus Plugin ID 86945

Language:

Synopsis

The remote VMware ESXi host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote VMware ESXi host is version 5.0 prior to build 3021432. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to a double-free error in the SLPDProcessMessage() function in OpenSLP. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted package, to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.

Solution

Apply patch ESXi500-201510101-SG for ESXi 5.0.
