VMSA-2013-0003: VMware vCenter Server, ESXi and ESX address an NFC Protocol memory corruption and third party library security issues.
a. VMware vCenter, ESXi and ESX NFC protocol memory corruption vulnerability VMware vCenter Server, ESXi and ESX contain a vulnerability in the handling of the Network File Copy (NFC) protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must intercept and modify the NFC traffic between vCenter Server and the client or ESXi/ESX and the client. Exploitation of the issue may lead to code execution. To reduce the likelihood of exploitation, vSphere components should be deployed on an isolated management network VMware would like to thank Alex Chapman of Context Information Security for reporting this issue to us.

Libxml2 vulnerability

CVE-2012-5134 Libxml2 vulnerability
Title: Libxml2 vulnerability
Summary: Applications using libxml2 could be made to crash or run programs as
your login if they opened a specially crafted file.
It was discovered that libxml2 had a heap-based buffer underflow
when parsing entities. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted XML document, applications linked against
libxml2 could be made to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

CVE-2012-5134 libxml2: Heap-buffer-underflow in xmlParseAttValueComplex
A heap-buffer overflow was found in the way libxml2 decoded certain XML entitites. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file, which once opened in an application linked against libxml would cause that application to crash, or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
