VMware VMWare Infrastructure

Certain ActiveX controls in (1) tsgetxu71ex552.dll and (2) tsgetx71ex552.dll in Tom Sawyer GET Extension Factory 5.5.2.237, as used in VI Client (aka VMware Infrastructure Client) 2.0.2 before Build 230598 and 2.5 before Build 204931 in VMware Infrastructure 3, do not properly handle attempted initialization within Internet Explorer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted HTML document.

vmware-config.pl in VMware for Linux, ESX Server 2.x, and Infrastructure 3 does not check the return code from a Perl chmod function call, which might cause an SSL key file to be created with an unsafe umask that allows local users to read or modify the SSL key.
