Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-3079)

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to execute arbitrary code.

VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) 5.1 before Update 1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary programs with root privileges by leveraging Virtual Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) access.


2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-3080)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to execute arbitrary code.

VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) 5.1 before Update 1 allows remote authenticated users to create or overwrite arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, by leveraging Virtual Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) web-interface access.


3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-6324)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) 5.0 before Update 2 and 5.1 before Patch 1. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.
