3. Problem Description
a. VMware ESXi and ESX NFC NULL pointer dereference
VMware ESXi and ESX contain a NULL pointer dereference in
the handling of the Network File Copy (NFC) traffic. To
exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must intercept and
modify the NFC traffic between ESXi/ESX and the client.
Exploitation of the issue may lead to a Denial of Service.
To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components
should be deployed on an isolated management network.
VMware would like to thank Alex Chapman of Context Information
Security for reporting this issue to us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2014-1207 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.

b. VMware VMX process denial of service vulnerability
Due to a flaw in the handling of invalid ports, it is possible
to cause the VMX process to fail. This vulnerability may allow a
guest user to affect the VMX process resulting in a partial denial of
service on the host.
VMware would like to thank Recurity Labs GmbH and the Bundesamt
Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) for reporting this
issue to us
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has

c. VMware vCloud Director Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
VMware vCloud Director contains a vulnerability in the Hyper Text
Transfer

authenticated
user to click a malicious link, which would result in the user being
logged
out. The user is able to immediately log back into the system.
VMware would like to thank Mattia Folador for reporting this issue to
us.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2014-1211 to this issue.
