Vulnerability Insight:
VMware has updated the vSphere API to address a denial of service vulnerability
in ESX and ESXi. VMware has also updated the ESX Service Console to include several open source security updates.
a. VMware vSphere API denial of service vulnerability
The VMware vSphere API contains a denial of service vulnerability. This issue

bind-libs-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2
