The VMware vSphere API contains a denial of service vulnerability. This issue allows an unauthenticated user to send a maliciously crafted API request and disable the host daemon. Exploitation of the issue would prevent management activities on the host but any virtual machines running on the host would be unaffected.

This update adds the correct CVE number.
A security vulnerability was found in the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi)

subsystem, allowing an unauthenticated remote DoS. The vulnerability could

allow denial of service if a specially crafted request is sent to the

vSphere API by an unauthenticated user.
