Ease of use
integrated into a security architecture satisfying security goals at
and across multiple networks. Logical integration is accomplished by
consistently setting thousands of configuration variables and rules on
the devices. The configuration must be constantly adapted to optimize
protection and block prospective attacks. The configuration must be
tuned to balance security with usability. These challenges are
compounded by the deployment of mobile devices and ad hoc
networks. The resulting security configuration complexity places a
heavy burden on both regular users and experienced administrators and
dramatically reduces overall network assurability and usability. The

and has no shared folders, Windows-based guests may be affected. This
is regardless if a host supports HGFS.
This issue could be mitigated by removing the VMware Tools package
from Windows based guests. However this is not recommended as it
would impact usability of the product.
NOTE: Installing the new hosted release or ESX patches will not
remediate the issue. The VMware Tools packages will need
to be updated on each Windows-based guest followed by a
reboot of the guest system.

It's not so much the attack vector, it's the usability issue. This makes it
just too easy to convince users to download and execute untrusted content.

UDP/9204 is associated with the service WAP-vCard and is used for
sending vCard files to the device, that are displayed as normal SMS to
users.
By flooding the device with multiple vCards it is possible to perform a
Denial of Service attack that affects usability, SMS handling and
connectivity.
By sending large number of vCards an attacker can achieve significant
device slowdown, making the UI sluggish and hard to use.
In some cases WiFi connections may be dropped (when vCards are sent via
WiFi), effectively disconnecting the device from the network.
V. WORKAROUND
Removing VMware Tools from affected guest systems will prevent
exploitation of this issue. However, doing so will also reduce
performance and affect the usability of that virtual machine.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
VMware has addressed this vulnerability by releasing new versions of
their affected products. In order to address affected guest operating

Target software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform
with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.
To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:
PHP version 4.2 or greater
MySQL version 4.0 or greater
IV. DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
Google Chrome has an inbuilt file downloader[1], just like every other
browser. However, the behavior of this function is different from other
browsers and provides users much more usability and convenience. Chrome
automatically downloads a file from any site that is passed using the
Content-Disposition header value "attachment" (on the contrary, all other
browsers show a save as dialog). There are some mitigations done by Chrome
to protect users from auto downloading malware by raising an alert on
executable extensions such as .exe, .htm, .jar, etc.
open a specially crafted file. The user should refrain from opening
files from untrusted third parties or accessing untrusted Web sites (or
disable the VLC browser plugins), until the patch is applied.
VLC media player 0.8.6e addresses these issues and introduces further
usability fixes. The source code patch can be downloaded separately here
[3]. Pre-compiled packages will be available at the usual download
locations shortly.
