Descriptions

VMware vCenter Server (6.5 prior to 6.5 U1) contains an insecure library loading issue that occurs due to the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable in an unsafe manner. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow unprivileged host users to load a shared library that may lead to privilege escalation.

VMware vCenter Server en su versión 6.5 anterior a la 6.5 U1 tiene un problema de carga insegura de librerías que ocurre porque se utiliza la variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH de una manera no segura. Si se explota con éxito esta vulnerabilidad, podría permitir a los usuarios host sin privilegios cargar una librería compartida que pueda provocar un escalado de privilegios.
