             scripting issue

Issue date:  2016-05-24
Updated on:  2016-05-24 (Initial Advisory)
CVE number:  CVE-2016-2078

1. Summary

   VMware vCenter Server updates address an important cross-site scripting
issue.

2. Relevant Releases

   vCenter Server 6.0 prior to 6.0 update 2
   vCenter Server 5.5 prior to 5.5 update 3d

3. Problem Description

   a. Reflected cross-site scripting issue through flash parameter
injection

   The vSphere Web Client contains a reflected cross-site scripting
   vulnerability that occurs through flash parameter injection. An attacker
   can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into clicking a malicious
link.

   VMware would like to thank John Page aka hyp3rlinx for reporting this
issue to us.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
   assigned the identifier CVE-2016-2078 to this issue.

   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
   ============       ==========    ==========    =============
   vCenter Server       6.0          Window         6.0 U2*
   vCenter Server       6.0          Linux          not affected
   vCenter Server       5.5          Window         5.5 U3d*
   vCenter Server       5.5          Linux          not affected

3. Problem Description

   a. Critical JMX issue when deserializing authentication credentials

      The RMI server of Oracle JRE JMX deserializes any class when
      deserializing authentication credentials. This may allow a remote,
      unauthenticated attacker to cause deserialization flaws and execute
      their commands.

      Workarounds CVE-2016-3427

      vCenter Server
      Apply the steps of VMware Knowledge Base article 2145343 to vCenter
      Server 6.0 on Windows. See the table below for the specific vCenter
      Server 6.0 versions on Windows this applies to.

      vCloud Director
      No workaround identified

      vSphere Replication
      No workaround identified

      vRealize Operations Manager (non-appliance)
      The non-appliance version of vRealize Operations Manager (vROps),
      which can be installed on Windows and Linux has no default
      firewall. In order to remove the remote exploitation possibility,
      access to the following external ports will need to be blocked on
      the system where the non-appliance version of vROps is installed:
         - vROps 6.2.x: port 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, 9008
         - vROps 6.1.x: port 9004, 9005, 9007, 9008
         - vROps 6.0.x: port 9004, 9005
      Note: These ports are already blocked by default in the appliance
      version of vROps.
 
      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has 
      assigned the identifier CVE-2016-3427 to this issue.

      Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to

    * Remote and local exploitation is feasible on vCenter Server 6.0 and
      6.0.0a for Windows. Remote exploitation is not feasible on vCenter
      Server 6.0.0b (and above) for Windows but local exploitation is. The
      local exploitation possibility can be removed by applying the steps
      of KB 2145343 to vCenter Server 6.0.0b (and above) for Windows.

   ** See VMSA-2015-0007 for details.

  *** vSphere Replication is affected if its vCloud Tunneling Agent
      is running, which is not enabled by default. This agent is used
      in environments that replicate data between the cloud and an
      on-premise datacenter.     


   b. Important VMware Workstation and Player for Windows host privilege
      escalation vulnerability. 

      VMware Workstation and Player for Windows do not properly reference
      one of their executables. This may allow a local attacker on the host
      to elevate their privileges.

      VMware would like to thank Andrew Smith of Sword & Shield Enterprise
      Security for reporting this issue to us.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2016-2077 to this issue.

3. Problem Description

   a. VMWare ESXi OpenSLP Remote Code Execution

      VMware ESXi contains a double free flaw in OpenSLP's
      SLPDProcessMessage() function. Exploitation of this issue may
      allow an unauthenticated attacker to remotely execute code on
      the ESXi host. 

      VMware would like to thank Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 for reporting
      this issue to us.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-5177 to this issue.

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

        * Customers who have installed the complete set of ESXi 5.5 U3
        Bulletins, please review VMware KB 2133118. KB 2133118 documents
        a known non-security issue and provides a solution.

   b. VMware vCenter Server JMX RMI Remote Code Execution

      VMware vCenter Server contains a remotely accessible JMX RMI
      service that is not securely configured. An unauthenticated remote
      attacker who is able to connect to the service may be able to use
      it to execute arbitrary code on the vCenter Server. A local attacker
      may be able to elevate their privileges on vCenter Server.

      vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0 has remote access
      to the JMX RMI service (port 9875) blocked by default.

      VMware would like to thank Doug McLeod of 7 Elements Ltd and an
      anonymous researcher working through HP's Zero Day Initiative for
      reporting this issue to us.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-2342 to this issue.

      CRITICAL UPDATE

      VMSA-2015-0007.2 and earlier versions of this advisory documented
      that CVE-2015-2342 was addressed in vCenter Server 5.0 U3e,
      5.1 U3b, and 5.5 U3. Subsequently, it was found that the fix for
      CVE-2015-2342 in vCenter Server 5.0 U3e, 5.1 U3b, and
      5.5 U3/U3a/U3b running on Windows was incomplete and did not
      address the issue.
      In order to address the issue on these versions of vCenter Server
      Windows, an additional patch must be installed. This additional
      patch is available from VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article
      2144428. Alternatively, on vSphere 5.5 updating to vCenter Server
      5.5 U3d running on Windows will remediate the issue.
      In case the Windows Firewall is enabled on the system that has
      vCenter Server Windows installed, remote exploitation of
      CVE-2015-2342 is not possible. Even if the Windows Firewall is
      enabled, users are advised to install the additional patch in
      order to remove the local privilege elevation.

      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

      VMware vCenter Server   5.0        Linux     5.0 U3e

     * An additional patch provided in VMware KB article 2144428 must be
       installed on vCenter Server Windows 5.0 U3e, 5.1 U3b, 5.5 U3,
       5.5 U3a, and 5.5 U3b in order to remediate CVE-2015-2342.
       This patch is not needed when updating to 5.5 U3d or when
       installing 5.5 U3d.

   c. VMware vCenter Server vpxd denial-of-service vulnerability

      VMware vCenter Server does not properly sanitize long heartbeat
      messages. Exploitation of this issue may allow an unauthenticated
      attacker to create a denial-of-service condition in the vpxd
      service.

      VMware would like to thank the Google Security Team for reporting
      this issue to us.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-1047 to this issue.

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

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   VMware Security Advisory

Advisory ID: VMSA-2016-0004
Synopsis:    VMware product updates address a critical security issue in
             the VMware Client Integration Plugin
Issue date:  2016-04-14
Updated on:  2016-04-14 (Initial Advisory)
CVE number:  CVE-2016-2076 
 
1. Summary

   VMware vCenter Server, vCloud Director (vCD), vRealize Automation
   (vRA) Identity Appliance, and the Client Integration Plugin (CIP) 
   updates address a critical security issue.

2. Relevant Releases

   vCenter Server 6.0
   vCenter Server 5.5 U3a, U3b, U3c
  
   vCloud Director 5.5.5
   
   vRealize Automation Identity Appliance 6.2.4

3. Problem Description

   a. Critical VMware Client Integration Plugin incorrect session
      handling

   The VMware Client Integration Plugin does not handle session content
   in a safe way. This may allow for a Man in the Middle attack or Web
   session hijacking in case the user of the vSphere Web Client visits
   a malicious Web site.

   The vulnerability is present in versions of CIP that shipped with:
   - vCenter Server 6.0 (any 6.0 version up to 6.0 U2)
   - vCenter Server 5.5 U3a, U3b, U3c
   - vCloud Director 5.5.5
   - vRealize Automation Identity Appliance 6.2.4

   In order to remediate the issue, both the server side (i.e. vCenter
   Server, vCloud Director, and vRealize Automation Identity Appliance)
   and the client side (i.e. CIP of the vSphere Web Client) will need
   to be updated.

   The steps to remediate the issue are as follows:
   A) Install an updated version of:
      - vCenter Server,
      - vCloud Director,
      - vRealize Automation Identity Appliance,
   B) Subsequently update the Client Integration Plugin on the system
      from which the vSphere Web Client is used. 
      Updating the plugin on vSphere and vRA Identity Appliance is
      explained in VMware Knowledge Base article 2145066.
      Updating the plugin on vCloud Director is initiated by a prompt
      when connecting the vSphere Web Client to the updated version of
      vCloud Director.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has 
   assigned the identifier CVE-2016-2076 to this issue.

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

   Plugin                  above          Mac OS
   
   * After installing the updated version, the Client Integration Plugin
     will need to be updated on all systems from which the vSphere Web
     Client is used to connect to vCenter Server, vCloud Director and
     vRealize Automation Identity Manager.

  ** vCloud Director 8.0.0 did not ship with a vulnerable CIP version,
      and vCloud Director 8.0.1 shipped with the updated version of the
      CIP.

               VMware Security Advisory

Advisory ID: VMSA-2016-0002.1
Synopsis:    VMware product updates address a critical glibc security
             vulnerability
Issue date:  2016-02-22
Updated on:  2016-02-23
CVE numbers: CVE-2015-7547
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary

   VMware product updates address a critical glibc security
   vulnerability


2. Relevant Releases (Affected products that have remediation available)

   ESXi 6.0 without patch ESXi600-201602401-SG
   ESXi 5.5 without patch ESXi550-201602401-SG
 
   VMware virtual appliances

3. Problem Description 

   a. glibc update for multiple products.

      The glibc library has been updated in multiple products to resolve 
      a stack buffer overflow present in the glibc getaddrinfo function.
  
      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-7547.

      VMware products have been grouped into the following four
      categories:
      
      I) ESXi and ESX Hypervisor
      Versions of ESXi and ESX prior to 5.5 are not affected because
      they do not ship with a vulnerable version of glibc.
      ESXi 5.5 and ESXi 6.0 ship with a vulnerable version of glibc and
      are affected. 
      See table 1 for remediation for ESXi 5.5 and ESXi 6.0.
    
      II) Windows-based products
      Windows-based products, including all versions of vCenter Server 
      running on Windows, are not affected.

      III) VMware virtual appliances
      VMware virtual appliances ship with a vulnerable version of glibc
      and are affected. 
      See table 2 for remediation for appliances.
      
      IV) Products that run on Linux
      VMware products that run on Linux (excluding virtual appliances)
      might use a vulnerable version of glibc as part of the base
      operating system. If the operating system has a vulnerable version
      of glibc, VMware recommends that customers contact their operating
      system vendor for resolution.  
      
      WORKAROUND

      Workarounds are available for several virtual appliances. These are 
      documented in VMware KB article 2144032.

      RECOMMENDATIONS

      VMware recommends customers evaluate and deploy patches for

Advisory ID: VMSA-2016-0002
Synopsis:    VMware product updates address a critical glibc security
             vulnerability
Issue date:  2016-02-22
Updated on:  2016-02-22 (Initial Advisory)
CVE numbers: CVE-2015-7547
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary

   VMware product updates address a critical glibc security
   vulnerability


2. Relevant Releases (Affected products that have remediation available)

   ESXi 5.5 without patch ESXi550-201602401-SG
 
   VMware virtual appliances

3. Problem Description 

   a. glibc update for multiple products.

      The glibc library has been updated in multiple products to resolve 
      a stack buffer overflow present in the glibc getaddrinfo function.
  
      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-7547.

      VMware products have been grouped into the following four
      categories:
      
      I) ESXi and ESX Hypervisor
      Versions of ESXi and ESX prior to 5.5 are not affected because
      they do not ship with a vulnerable version of glibc.
      ESXi 5.5 and ESXi 6.0 ship with a vulnerable version of glibc and
      are affected. 
      See table 1 for remediation for ESXi 5.5 and ESXi 6.0.
    
      II) Windows-based products
      Windows-based products, including all versions of vCenter Server 
      running on Windows, are not affected.

      III) VMware virtual appliances
      VMware virtual appliances ship with a vulnerable version of glibc
      and are affected. 
      See table 2 for remediation for appliances.
      
      IV) Products that run on Linux
      VMware products that run on Linux (excluding virtual appliances)
      might use a vulnerable version of glibc as part of the base
      operating system. If the operating system has a vulnerable version
      of glibc, VMware recommends that customers contact their operating
      system vendor for resolution.  
      
      WORKAROUND

      Workarounds are available for several virtual appliances. These are 
      documented in VMware KB article 2144032.

      RECOMMENDATIONS

      VMware recommends customers evaluate and deploy patches for
      affected products in Table 1 and 2 below as these patches become
      available. In case patches are not available, customers are
      advised to deploy the workaround.

      remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
      available.

3. Problem Description

   a. VMWare ESXi OpenSLP Remote Code Execution

      VMware ESXi contains a double free flaw in OpenSLP's
      SLPDProcessMessage() function. Exploitation of this issue may
      allow an unauthenticated attacker to remotely execute code on
      the ESXi host. 

      VMware would like to thank Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 for reporting
      this issue to us.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-5177 to this issue.

      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            5.0       ESXi      ESXi500-201510101-SG

        * Customers who have installed the complete set of ESXi 5.5 U3
        Bulletins, please review VMware KB 2133118. KB 2133118 documents
        a known non-security issue and provides a solution.

   b. VMware vCenter Server JMX RMI Remote Code Execution

      VMware vCenter Server contains a remotely accessible JMX RMI
      service that is not securely configured. An unauthenticated remote
      attacker who is able to connect to the service may be able to use
      it to execute arbitrary code on the vCenter Server. A local attacker
      may be able to elevate their privileges on vCenter Server.

      vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0 has remote access
      to the JMX RMI service (port 9875) blocked by default.

      VMware would like to thank Doug McLeod of 7 Elements Ltd and an
      anonymous researcher working through HP's Zero Day Initiative for
      reporting this issue to us.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-2342 to this issue.

      CRITICAL UPDATE

      VMSA-2015-0007.2 and earlier versions of this advisory documented
      that CVE-2015-2342 was addressed in vCenter Server 5.0 U3e,
      5.1 U3b, and 5.5 U3. Subsequently, it was found that the fix for
      CVE-2015-2342 in vCenter Server 5.0 U3e, 5.1 U3b, and
      5.5 U3/U3a/U3b running on Windows was incomplete and did not
      address the issue.
      In order to address the issue on these versions of vCenter Server
      Windows, an additional patch must be installed. This additional
      patch is available from VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article
      2144428.
      In case the Windows Firewall is enabled on the system that has
      vCenter Server Windows installed, remote exploitation of
      CVE-2015-2342 is not possible. Even if the Windows Firewall is
      enabled, users are advised to install the additional patch in
      order to remove the local privilege elevation.

      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

      VMware vCenter Server   5.0        Linux     5.0 U3e

     * An additional patch provided in VMware KB article 2144428 must be
       installed on vCenter Server Windows 5.0 U3e, 5.1 U3b, 5.5 U3,
       5.5 U3a, and 5.5 U3b in order to remediate CVE-2015-2342.

   c. VMware vCenter Server vpxd denial-of-service vulnerability

      VMware vCenter Server does not properly sanitize long heartbeat
      messages. Exploitation of this issue may allow an unauthenticated
      attacker to create a denial-of-service condition in the vpxd
      service.

      VMware would like to thank the Google Security Team for reporting
      this issue to us.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the identifier CVE-2015-1047 to this issue.
