CVE-2010-4573

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VMware ESXi version 4.1

Description The issue concerns the Update Installer in VMware ESXi, which fails to properly configure the SFCB authentication mode when a modified sfcb.cfg is present. This allows remote attackers to gain access using any username and password.

Recommendations For VMware ESXi version 4.1, ensure proper configuration of the SFCB authentication mode to prevent unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SFCB service until a proper configuration can be applied.
