a. vCenter Server and vCenter Update Manager update Microsoft    SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to Service Pack 3

   Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL Express)    distributed with vCenter Server 4.1 Update 1 and vCenter Update    Manager 4.1 Update 1 is upgraded from  SQL Express Service Pack 2    to SQL Express Service Pack 3, to address multiple security    issues that exist in the earlier releases of Microsoft SQL Express.

   Customers using other database solutions need not update for    these issues.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the names CVE-2008-5416, CVE-2008-0085, CVE-2008-0086,    CVE-2008-0107 and CVE-2008-0106 to the issues addressed in MS SQL    Express Service Pack 3.

b. vCenter Apache Tomcat Management Application Credential Disclosure

   The Apache Tomcat Manager application configuration file contains    logon credentials that can be read by unprivileged local users.

   The issue is resolved by removing the Manager application in    vCenter 4.1 Update 1.

   If vCenter 4.1 is updated to vCenter 4.1 Update 1 the logon    credentials are not present in the configuration file after the    update.

   VMware would like to thank Claudio Criscione of Secure Networking    for reporting this issue to us.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)    has assigned the name CVE-2010-2928 to this issue.

   - The update also addresses CVE-2010-2240 for ESX 4.0.

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, in several third-party components and libraries :

  - Apache Tomcat 
  - Apache Tomcat Manager
  - cURL 
  - Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
  - Kernel 
  - Microsoft SQL Express
  - OpenSSL
  - pam_krb5
