* New: Host code execution vulnerability from a guest operating system
A critical vulnerability in the virtual machine display function might
allow a guest operating system to run code on the host. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
name CVE-2009-1244 to this issue.
* VMnc codec heap overflow vulnerabilities
The VMnc codec assists in record and replay of sessions which are records
of the dynamic virtual machine state over a period of time. Two heap
overflow vulnerabilities might allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code on VMware hosted products. For an attack to be successful,
the user must visit a malicious Web page or open a malicious video file.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the names
CVE-2009-0909 and CVE-2009-0910 to these issues.
* A VMCI privilege escalation on Windows-based hosts or Windows-based guests
The Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) provides fast and
efficient communication between two or more virtual machines on the same
host and between a virtual machine and the host operating system. A
vulnerability in vmci.sys might allow privilege escalation on
Windows-based machines. This might occur on Windows-based hosts or inside
Windows-based guest operating systems. Current versions of ESX Server do
not support the VMCI interface and hence they are not affected by this
vulnerability. To correct this vulnerability on Windows-based hosts, see
Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) privilege escalation on
Windows-based Workstation, Player, ACE and Server (KB 1009826).
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name
CVE-2009-1147 to this issue.
* A remote denial-of-service vulnerability in authd for Windows-based hosts
A vulnerability in vmware-authd.exe might cause a denial-of-service
condition on Windows hosts. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project has assigned the name CVE-2009-0177 to this issue.
* Updated vm-support script
This release improves data collection when the vm-support script is run by
the Server administrator on request of VMware support or its support
partners. The file that contains the SSL keys for communication between
Server and vCenter and other applications is no longer collected. For more
details, see the KB article Data Security Best Practices - SSL keys for
communicating with VirtualCenter and other applications (KB 1008166).
* Windows-based host privilege escalation in hcmon.sys
A vulnerability in an I/O Control (ioctl) function in hcmon.sys might be
used to escalate privileges on a Windows-based host. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2009-1146
to this issue.
New releases of hosted products address a denial-of-service problem
described in CVE-2008-3761, which can only be exploited by a privileged
Windows account.
* Denial-of -service vulnerability in a virtual device
A vulnerability in a guest virtual device driver might allow a guest
operating system to cause the host and consequently any virtual machine on
that host to fail. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has
assigned the name CVE-2008-4916 to this issue.
Miscellaneous
* Mount installer option mounts current CD-ROM image instead of VMware Tools
installer image
If a CD-ROM image is mounted to a virtual machine with VMware Tools
installed, the Mount installer option in the Web UI incorrectly mounts the
CD-ROM image instead of the VMware Tools image. The issue is resolved in
this release.
* Unable to install the latest version of VIX API on Server 2.0.x
You cannot install VMware VIX API 1.6.2 of due to an issue with the MSI
installer for VIX API. This issue is resolved in this release.
* The default VI Web Access HTTP connection port is 8222 and the default
HTTPS port is 8333. If you use these defaults, or any values other than 80
(HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), you must specify the port number when you connect to
VMware Server using VI Web Access. You must also allow connection to these
ports through your firewall.
An example URL to connect to VI Web Access is http://server_host:8222
If you want to use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), override the default
values during installation.
Note: If you are running IIS or Apache web server on the default ports,
specify alternate HTTP and HTTP ports when prompted by the Windows
installer or vmware-config.pl. Alternatively, stop IIS's default Web site
or any other Web site running on these ports. On Linux, shut down Apache
or any other application using these ports and make sure they are not
configured to restart automatically.
This issue is resolved in this release.

VMware Server 1.0.7
更新細節：
Server 1.0.7 addresses the following security issues:
* Security Fix for VMware ISAPI Extension
Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) is an API that extends the functionality of Internet Information Server (IIS). VMware uses ISAPI extensions in its Server product.
One of the ISAPI extensions provided by VMware is vulnerable to a remote denial of service. By sending a malformed request, IIS might shut down. IIS 6.0 restarts automatically. However, IIS 5.0 does not restart automatically when its Startup Type is set to Manual.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures has assigned the name CVE-2008-3697 to this issue.
* Setting ActiveX killbit
From this release, VMware has set the killbit on its ActiveX controls. Setting the killbit ensures that ActiveX controls cannot run in Internet Explorer (IE), and avoids security issues involving ActiveX controls in IE. See the KB article 240797 from Microsoft and the related references on this topic.
Security vulnerabilities have been reported for ActiveX controls provided by VMware when run in IE. Under specific circumstances, exploitation of these ActiveX controls might result in denial-of-service or can allow running of arbitrary code when the user browses a malicious Web site or opens a malicious file in IE browser. An attempt to run unsafe ActiveX controls in IE might result in pop-up windows warning the user.
Note: IE can be configured to run unsafe ActiveX controls without prompting. VMware recommends that you retain the default settings in IE, which prompts when unsafe actions are requested.
Earlier, VMware had issued knowledge base articles, KB 5965318 and KB 9078920 on security issues with ActiveX controls.
To avoid malicious scripts that exploit ActiveX controls, do not enable unsafe ActiveX objects in your browser settings. As a best practice, do not browse untrusted Web sites as an administrator and do not click OK or Yes if prompted by IE to allow certain actions.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures has assigned the names CVE-2008-3691, CVE-2008-3692, CVE-2008-3693, CVE-2008-3695, CVE-2007-5438, and CVE-2008-3696 to the security issues with VMware ActiveX controls.
* Security Fix for Local Privilege Escalation on Host System
This release fixes a privilege escalation vulnerability in host operating systems. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows users to run arbitrary code on the host system with elevated privileges.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures has assigned the name CVE-2008-3698 to this issue.
* Update to Freetype
FreeType 2.3.6 resolves an integer overflow vulnerability and other vulnerabilities that can allow malicious users to run arbitrary code or might cause a denial-of-service after reading a maliciously crafted file. This release updates FreeType to its latest version 2.3.7.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures has assigned the names CVE-2008-1806, CVE-2008-1807, and CVE-2008-1808 to the issues resolved in Freetype 2.3.6.

Security Issues Resolved in VMware Server 1.0.3
* Virtual machines can be put in various states of suspension, as specified by the ACPI power management standard. When returning from a sleep state (S2) to the run state (S0), the virtual machine process (VMX) collects information about the last recorded running state for the virtual machine. Under some circumstances, VMX read state information from an incorrect memory location. This issue could be used to complete a successful Denial-of-Service attack where the virtual machine would need to be rebooted.
Thanks to Tavis Ormandy of Google for identifying this issue.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE- 2007-1337 to this issue.
* Some VMware products support storing configuration information in VMware system files. Under some circumstances, a malicious user could instruct the virtual machine process (VMX) to store malformed data, causing an error. This error could enable a successful Denial-of-Service attack on guest operating systems.
Thanks to Sungard Ixsecurity for identifying this issue.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2007-1877 to this issue.
* Some VMware products managed memory in a way that failed to gracefully handle some general protection faults (GPFs) in Windows guest operating systems. A malicious user could use this vulnerability to crash Windows virtual machines. While this vulnerability could allow an attacker to crash a virtual machine, we do not believe it was possible to escalate privileges or escape virtual containment.
Thanks to Ruben Santamarta of Reversemode for identifying this issue.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2007-1069 to this issue.
* In a 64-bit Windows guest on a 64-bit host, debugging local programs could create system instability. Using a debugger to step into a syscall instruction may corrupt the virtual machine's register context. This corruption produces unpredictable results including corrupted stack pointers, kernel bugchecks, or vmware-vmx process failures.
Thanks to Ken Johnson for identifying this issue.
