VMware Security Advisory

Advisory ID: VMSA-2016-0009
Synopsis:    VMware vCenter Server updates address an important
              reflective cross-site scripting issue
Issue date:  2016-06-14
Updated on:  2016-06-14 (Initial Advisory)
CVE number:  CVE-2015-6931
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary

    VMware vCenter Server updates address an important reflective
    cross-site scripting issue.

2. Relevant Releases

    vCenter Server 5.5 prior to 5.5 update 2d
    vCenter Server 5.1 prior to 5.1 update 3d
    vCenter Server 5.0 prior to 5.0 update 3g


3. Problem Description

    a. Important vCenter Server reflected cross-site scripting issue

    The vSphere Web Client contains a reflected cross-site scripting
    vulnerability due to a lack of input sanitization. An attacker can
    exploit this issue by tricking a victim into clicking a malicious
    link.

    VMware would like to thank Matt Schmidt for reporting this issue to
    us.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
    assigned the identifier CVE-2015-6931 to this issue.

    Column 4 of the following table lists the action required to
    remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is
    available.

    VMware             Product    Running   Replace with/
    Product            Version    on        Apply Patch
    ==============     =======    =======   =============
    vCenter Server     6.0        Any       not affected
    vCenter Server     5.5        Any       5.5 U2d *
    vCenter Server     5.1        Any       5.1 U3d *
    vCenter Server     5.0        Any       5.0 U3g *

    * The client side component of the vSphere Web Client does not need
      to be updated to remediate CVE-2015-6931. Updating the vCenter
      Server is sufficient to remediate this issue.


4. Solution

    Please review the patch/release notes for your product and
    version and verify the checksum of your downloaded file.
