## Description

VMware ESXi contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine with an existing snapshot may trigger an out-of-bounds read leading to a denial-of-service condition of the host.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a ESXi, n/a VMware Cloud Foundation, upgrade to a fixed version (ESXi80U3-24022510, ESXi70U3sq-23794019) per the references below.
