This vulnerability allows network-adjacent malicious users to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of VMware ESXi. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of SLP messages. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the SLP daemon.

France's Computer Emergency Response Team has issued a Bulletin D'Alerte regarding a campaign to infect VMware’s ESXI hypervisor with ransomware. We get a little language lesson with this one: France's CERT describes this as an attempt to "déployer un rançongiciel," while Italy's Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale – which has also warned of the campaign – warns that a "rilascio di ransomware" is under way. Neither nation's infosec authorities offer any information about the source o...

That didn't take long. A week after the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and FBI released a recovery script to help victims of the widespread ESXiArgs ransomware attacks recover infected systems, an updated variant of the malware aimed at vulnerable VMware ESXi virtual machines can't be remediated with the government agencies' code, according to Malwarebytes. The variant can't be decrypted using the script released to GitHub by CISA because, unlike earlier versions, it ...

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released a recovery script to help companies whose servers were scrambled in the recent ESXiArgs ransomware outbreak. The malware attack hit thousands of servers over the globe but there's no need to enrich criminals any more. In addition to the script, CISA and the FBI today published ESXiArgs ransomware virtual machine recovery guidance on how to recover systems as soon as possible. The software nasty is estimated to be on more...
