VMware has patched a critical directory traversal vulnerability in its
View VMWare desktop virtualization platform that could allow a hacker to
access arbitrary files from affected View Servers.
The vulnerability affects both the View Connection Server and the View
Security Server. The vulnerability was discovered by Digital Defense, a
security service provider.
According to VMware advisory, the affected versions are View 5.x prior
to 5.1.2 and 4.x prior to 4.6.2. Users are advised to upgrade to the
latest version.
Users who are unable to immediately update their View Servers are
advised to "Disable security server" or "blocking directory traversal
attacks with an intrusion detection/prevention system or an application
firewall"
