Synopsis

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in hostd-vmdb. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. Additionally, multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, exist in multiple Java Runtime Environment (JRE) components :

 - 2D
 - AWT
 - CORBA
 - Deployment
 - Hotspot
 - Install
 - JDBC
 - JMX
 - Libraries
 - Networking
 - Serialization
 - Serviceability
 - Sound

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the vendor advisory that pertains to ESX version 4.0 / 4.1 or ESXi version 4.0 / 4.1.
