Security readout for executives and security teams
This CVE describes a local denial-of-service risk in VMware ESX Server 2.x configurations. A user with local service console access could cause the host to shut down through exposed shutdown-related scripts. The sources do not provide CVSS, CWE, patch details, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely limited to organizations still operating VMware ESX Server 2.x with local service console users. No broader affected products are identified in the supplied sources. Prioritize if legacy ESX 2.x hosts still support business-critical workloads. The risk is availability-focused and local-access dependent, but a host shutdown could disrupt hosted systems. Mitigation focus: Check VMware guidance for this specific ESX Server 2.x issue.; Restrict local service console access to trusted administrators only.; Review permissions around shutdown-related service console scripts..
