Vmware · Vcenter Server · CVE-2018-12130
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Intel Microprocessors (affected versions not specified)
vCenter Server (affected versions not specified)
ESXi (affected versions not specified)
Workstation (affected versions not specified)
Fusion (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS), which may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. This is due to the speculative execution utilized by some microprocessors.
**Recommendations**
For Intel Microprocessors, consider applying the microcode updates as guided by Intel to mitigate the risk.
For vCenter Server, update to a version that includes Hypervisor-Specific Mitigations for MDS speculative execution vulnerabilities.
For ESXi, update to a version that includes Hypervisor-Specific Mitigations for MDS speculative execution vulnerabilities.
For Workstation, update to a version that includes Hypervisor-Specific Mitigations for MDS speculative execution vulnerabilities.
For Fusion, update to a version that includes Hypervisor-Specific Mitigations for MDS speculative execution vulnerabilities.
