This patch fixes the following security issues:

• Fixes a security vulnerability that could allow a guest operating system user with administrative privileges to cause memory corruption in a host process, and thus potentially execute arbitrary code on the host. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the following name to this issue: CVE-2007-4496.

Thanks to Rafal Wojtczvk of McAfee for identifying and reporting this issue.

• Fixes a denial of service vulnerability that could allow a guest operating system to cause a host process to become unresponsive or exit unexpectedly. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the following name to this issue: CVE-2007-4497.

I was reading an article talking about the need to secure the VMWare servers, and it mentioned a new security vulnerability identified on Friday, check it out. Securing the VMWare ESX servers is just as important as patching the virtual or physical windows/linux/unix servers, in a virtualized world you could argue it’s even more important as one physical asset could cause disruption to several business lines/applications (arguably as could any share infrastructure).
