3. Problem Description

  a. VMware Tools Display Driver Privilege Escalation

     The VMware XPDM and WDDM display drivers contain buffer overflow
     vulnerabilities and the XPDM display driver does not properly
     check for NULL pointers. Exploitation of these issues may lead
     to local privilege escalation on Windows-based Guest Operating
     Systems.

     VMware would like to thank Tarjei Mandt for reporting theses
     issues to us.

     The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
     has assigned the names CVE-2012-1509 (XPDM buffer overrun),
     CVE-2012-1510 (WDDM buffer overrun) and CVE-2012-1508 (XPDM null
     pointer dereference) to these issues.

     Note: CVE-2012-1509 doesn't affect ESXi and ESX.

     Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
     remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
     available.

       VMware         Product   Running  Replace with/
       Product *      Version   on       Apply Patch **
       =============  ========  =======  =================

       ESXi           4.0       ESXi     ESXi400-201110402-BG

       ESX            3.5       ESX      not affected

       * Remediation for VMware View is described in VMSA-2012-0004.

       ** Notes on updating VMware Guest Tools:

       After the update or patch is applied, VMware Guest Tools must
       be updated in any pre-existing Windows-based Guest Operating
       System. The XPDM and WDDM drivers are part of Tools.

       Windows-Based Virtual Machines that have moved to Workstation
       8 or Player 4 from a lower version of Workstation or Player
       are affected unless:

           - They were moved from Workstation 7.1.5 or Player 3.1.5,

                AND

           - The Tools version was updated before the move.

       Windows-Based Virtual Machines that have moved to Fusion 4
       from a lower version of Fusion are affected.

  b. vSphere Client internal browser input validation vulnerability

     The vSphere Client has an internal browser that renders html
     pages from log file entries. This browser doesn't properly
     sanitize input and may run script that is introduced into the
     log files. In order for the script to run, the user would need
     to open an individual, malicious log file entry. The script
     would run with the permissions of the user that runs the vSphere
     Client.

     VMware would like to thank Edward Torkington for reporting this
     issue to us.

     The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
     has assigned the name CVE-2012-1512 to this issue.

     In order to remediate the issue, the vSphere Client of the
     vSphere 5.0 Update 1 release or the vSphere 4.1 Update 2 release
     needs to be installed. The vSphere Clients that come with
     vSphere 4.0 and vCenter Server 2.5 are not affected.

  c. vCenter Orchestrator Password Disclosure

     The vCenter Orchestrator (vCO) Web Configuration tool reflects
     back the vCenter Server password as part of the webpage. This
     might allow the logged-in vCO administrator to retrieve the
     vCenter Server password.

     VMware would like to thank Alexey Sintsov from Digital Security
     Research Group for reporting this issue to us.

     The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
     has assigned the name CVE-2012-1513 to this issue.

       VMware         Product  Running    Replace with/
       Product        Version  on         Apply Patch
       =============  =======  =======    =================
       vCO            4.2      Windows    vCO 4.2 Update 1
       vCO            4.1      Windows    vCO 4.1 Update 2
       vCO            4.0      Windows    vCO 4.0 Update 4

  d. vShield Manager Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability

     The vShield Manager (vSM) interface has a Cross-Site Request
     Forgery vulnerability. If an attacker can convince an
     authenticated user to visit a malicious link, the attacker may
     force the victim to forward an authenticated request to the
     server.

     VMware would like to thank Frans Pehrson of Xxor AB
     (www.xxor.se) and Claudio Criscione for independently reporting
     this issue to us

     The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
     has assigned the name CVE-2012-1514 to this issue.

       VMware         Product  Running    Replace with/
       Product        Version  on         Apply Patch

       vSM            4.0      Linux      vSM 1.0.1 Update 2

  e. vCenter Update Manager, Oracle (Sun) JRE update 1.6.0_30

     Oracle (Sun) JRE is updated to version 1.6.0_30, which addresses
     multiple security issues that existed in earlier releases of
     Oracle (Sun) JRE.

     Oracle has documented the CVE identifiers that are addressed in
     JRE 1.6.0_29 and JRE 1.6.0_30 in the Oracle Java SE Critical
     Patch Update Advisory of October 2011. The References section
     provides a link to this advisory.
