| Description: | Summary:
The remote ESXi is missing one or more security related Updates from VMSA-2013-0001.
Vulnerability Insight:
a. VMware vSphere client-side authentication memory corruption vulnerability
VMware vCenter Server, vSphere Client, and ESX contain a vulnerability in the
handling of the management authentication protocol. To exploit this
vulnerability, an attacker must convince either vCenter Server,
vSphere Client or ESX to interact with a malicious server as a
client. Exploitation of the issue may lead to code execution on the client
system.
To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components should be
deployed on an isolated management network.
