Description:	Summary: The remote ESXi is missing one or more security related Updates from VMSA-2013-0002. Vulnerability Insight: a. VMware VMCI privilege escalation VMware ESX, Workstation, Fusion, and View contain a vulnerability in the handling of control code in vmci.sys. A local malicious user may exploit this vulnerability to manipulate the memory allocation through the Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) code. This could result in a privilege escalation on Windows-based hosts and on Windows-based Guest Operating Systems. The vulnerability does not allow for privilege escalation from the Guest Operating System to the host (and vice versa). This means that host memory can not be manipulated from the Guest Operating System (and vice versa). Systems that have VMCI disabled are also affected by this issue. Affected Software/OS: VMware ESXi 5.1 without ESXi510-201212102-SG VMware ESXi 5.0 without ESXi500-201212102-SG VMware ESXi 4.1.without ESXi410-201211402-BG VMware ESXi 4.0 without ESXi400-201302402-SG VMware ESX 4.1.without ESX410-201211401-SG VMware ESX 4.0 without ESX400-201302401-SG Solution: Apply the missing patch(es).
