Descriptions
The VMX process in VMware ESXi 4.1 and ESX 4.1 does not properly handle RPC commands, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory overwrite and process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host OS via vectors involving function pointers.
El proceso de VMX en VMware ESXi v4.1 y ESX v4.1 no controla correctamente los comandos de RPC, lo que permite a los usuarios invitados de sistemas operativos causar una denegación de servicio (sobrescritura de memoria y caída del proceso) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario en el sistema operativo anfitrión a través de vectores relacionados con punteros a funciones.
