> VMware has issued an update for VMware ESX Server. This fixes some

> Additionally, VMware ESX Server was updated to protect against a
> guest kernel memory corruption, which could cause a DoS and an error
> within 64bit syscall instruction handling. This, in turn, could cause
> a panic in 64bit virtual machines.

> SOLUTION:
> Apply patches. Please see vendor advisory for details.
